This is a fork of original gist https://gist.github.com/nrollr/3f57fc15ded7dddddcc4e82fe137b58e, with slight changes on pointing to 5.7 version branch, instead of 8 (latest default of MySQL in Hombrew).
This procedure explains how to install MySQL using Homebrew on macOS (Sierra 10.12 and up)
- Installing Homebrew is effortless, open Terminal and enter :
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" - Note: Homebrew will download and install Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.0 as part of the installation process.
