Mysql command not found in OS X 10.7

This is a 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 look in got 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 need to open terminal put it in the file .bash_profile , which is run when Terminal opens.

Note :

This error “mysql command not found mac” occur due to $PATH: /usr/local//usr/local/mysql/bin/private/var/mysql/private/var/mysql/bin .

 $PATH is where the shell searches for command files. If you want this to be run every time you open the terminal put it in the file .bash_profile.
