Mysql command not found in OS X 10.7

mysql

Solution

This is the problem with your $PATH:

`/usr/local//usr/local/mysql/bin/private/var/mysql/private/var/mysql/bin`.

`$PATH` is where the shell searches for command files. Folders to search in need to be separated with a colon. And so you want `/usr/local/mysql/bin/` in your path but instead it searches in `/usr/local//usr/local/mysql/bin/private/var/mysql/private/var/mysql/bin`, which probably doesn't exist.

Instead you want `${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin`.

So do `export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin`.

If you want this to be run every time you open terminal put it in the file `.bash_profile`, which is run when Terminal opens.
