Formula `mysql` is not installed

Question

I'm trying to install mysql using brew services start mysql as per the website instructions but it gives me an error:

Formula `mysql` is not installed.

I already did a full uninstall on my XAMPP server.

Terminal:

Dylans-Macbook:~ dylandude$ brew install [email protected]

Answer 1

You have installed the version 5.7 of MySQL with:

brew install [email protected]

So you have to start the service with:

brew services start [email protected]
