Mysql command not found in OS X 10.7

Question

I cant get my mysql to start on os x 10.7. It is located in /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

I get command not found when I type mysql --version

Answer 1

One alternative way is creating soft link in /usr/local/bin

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql /usr/local/bin/mysql

But if you need other executables like mysqldump, you will need to create soft link for them.
