Remove MySQL completely from Mac OSX
@seemly god bless you! I spend about 8 hours to look for an answer that could help me
Thank you! You just saved my life with this tutorial!!!!!
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.
