How do I install command line MySQL client on mac?

Question

I want to install the MySQL client for the command line, not a GUI. I have searched over the web but only found instructions on installing the MySQL server.

Answer 1

As stated by the earlier answer you can get both mysql server and client libs by running

brew install mysql.

There is also client only installation. To install only client libraries run

brew install mysql-connector-c

In order to run these commands, you need homebrew package manager in your mac. You can install it by running

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
