Using MySQL on MacOS with Terminal

This is a guide for using MySQL through the Terminal program on MacOS.

1:14 is where I start talking about creating the log/tee file.

Commands for launching into MySQL (seen in video):

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/

./mysql -u root -p

You are a lifesaver. Every other youtube channel or stack overflow has me cracking out brew to fix apt-get to reinstall because of an error- and all this because I started mysql and hit "initialise" and then tried to open it in terminal.

what password i sld input after the command "./mysql -u root -p" ? I tried to input "root" or my mac pw, still got the error log "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"
