Install mysql on mac

Install mysql on mac

There are two ways to install mysql under mac, one is to directly go to the http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ to download a dmg installation package, and then one way to install. However, there is a problem here. Because the mac file system is different from linux, an error will be reported when mysql-u root-p is logged on after installation:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can not connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

There are specific solutions on the Internet, but I have never been successful. Therefore, the second method is decisively adopted to use brew for installation.

Brew is a software manager for mac, similar to apt-get install in linux. First install brew and go to http://brew.sh/, and run it in the ghost.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

The installation is successful.

Then run the blew command to install mysql. execute the following command in sequence. Some of the steps are slow. Please be patient.

 brew install mysql

After the installation is complete, this error is still reported during login.

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can not connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Run the following commands in sequence:

unset TMPDIR

mysql_install_db --verbose --user=root --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)"--datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp

mysql.server start

Then you can log on. The logon command is:

mysql -uroot -p

To enable startup, run the following command:

mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Cp/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.16/homebrew. mxcl. mysql. plist ~ /Library/LaunchAgents/#5.6.16 is the database version number. You can modify it based on the version number you installed at the time.

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

So far, mysql is successfully installed on mac. Correct the error.
