I installed MySQL on Mac using Homebrew, so I’ll introduce the procedure. (Last updated: 2017/03/25)
Preparation: Installing Homebrew
If you haven’t installed Homebrew yet, please refer to this article.
Installing MySQL
brew install mysql
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/mysql-5.7.17.el_capitan.bottle.1.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring mysql-5.7.17.el_capitan.bottle.1.tar.gz
==> Using the sandbox
==> /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/bin/mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=your_username --basedir=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17 --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --t
==> Caveats
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
mysql_secure_installation
To connect run:
mysql -uroot
To have launchd start mysql now and restart at login:
brew services start mysql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mysql.server start
==> Summary

MySQL Auto-start Configuration
brew services start mysql
