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?

          mysqlsh in the terminal works for me. I installed the MySQL Community Server and MySQL Shell from Oracle's binaries. I don't know if this is different when installed from the homebrew repositories.



          I also had to add /usr/local/mysql/bin to /etc/paths and now the mysql command by itself works as well from anywhere.

            I had the same problem a while ago and I am still using the full path each time but the easiest way to add a new path to $PATH (the environment variable) is with the export command. In this example we’ll add “~/opt/bin” to the user PATH with export:



            export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin



            See the following for further details:
