MySQL installed but nowhere to be found on MacOS Mojave












0















I installed MySQL 5.7 using homebrew:



brew install mysql@5.7


As I understand, I am supposed to find mysql in /usr/local or /usr/local/bin but I see that mysql@5.7 was placed in /usr/local/opt.



So I tried adding that to the path:



echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile


But still when I try to type mysql or mysql@5.7 in the terminal it says "command not found".



What am I doing wrong here? How do I get mysql to become available as a terminal command?

          Perhaps you could Google next time.



          I had the same problem a while ago and I am still using the full path each time but the normal way to set extra paths is described here:
