How to Install MySQL on MacOS

To install MySQL on macOS, you can use Homebrew, which is a popular package manager for macOS. Here are the steps to install MySQL using Homebrew:

1. Install Homebrew:

   If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:

                   
                       /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
                   
               

2. Install MySQL:

   Once Homebrew is installed, you can use it to install MySQL. Run the following commands in your terminal:

                   
                       brew update
                       brew install mysql                    
                   
               

3. Start MySQL Server:

   After the installation is complete, you can start the MySQL server with the following command:

                   
                       brew services start mysql
                   
               

   This command will start the MySQL server and configure it to start automatically on system startup.

4. Secure MySQL Installation (Optional):

   It is recommended to run the MySQL secure installation script to improve the security of your MySQL installation. This script will prompt you to set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root login remotely, and remove the test database. Run the following command and follow the instructions:

                   
                       mysql_secure_installation
                   
               

   Follow the prompts to configure MySQL based on your preferences.

5. Access MySQL:

   You can access the MySQL command-line interface by typing the following command and entering your password when prompted:

                   
                       mysql -u root -p
                   
               

   Replace root with your MySQL username if you have chosen a different username during installation.

That's it! You should now have MySQL installed and running on your macOS system. Remember to consult the MySQL documentation for further configuration and management options: MySQL Documentation.
