$ brew install mysql
Set up databases to run AS YOUR USER ACCOUNT with:
unset TMPDIR
mysql_install_db --verbose --user=`whoami` --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
To set up base tables in another folder, or use a different user to run
mysqld, view the help for mysql_install_db:
mysql_install_db --help
and view the MySQL documentation:
* http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-install-db.html
* http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/default-privileges.html
To run as, for instance, user "mysql", you may need to `sudo`:
sudo mysql_install_db ...options...
A "/etc/my.cnf" from another install may interfere with a Homebrew-built
server starting up correctly.
To connect:
mysql -uroot
To have launchd start mysql at login:
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load mysql now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
mysql.server start
$ mysql_install_db --verbose --user=`whoami` --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
$ cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.29/support-files/my-medium.cnf /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents $ launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
$ /usr/local/opt/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -uroot password
