Question

I just installed mysql in terminal through homebrew.

Now when I try to connect to mysql it fails, but after I run mysqld it works..

So what I need to do now is run mysqld when I boot my Mac.

I’ve searched Google for mysqld autoload at startup etc. but couldn’t find the right answer.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.. Thanks!

brew info mysql gives you the instructions for loading MySQL at startup, but here’s all you need to do:

mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp `brew --prefix mysql`/*mysql*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/*mysql*.plist
