brew remove mysql rm -rf /opt/homebrew/var/mysql brew install mysql mysql.server start mysql -uroot
this would work , but I noticed that there is another version of mysql on my mac:
> mysql -V mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.24, for osx11.1 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
Later use this command :type -a mysql
It shows that anaconda3 installed a old version automatically.Ops....
mysql is /opt/anaconda3/bin/mysql
Remove it , then reinstall.
