Install Virtualbox On Mac Brew

Installation Mac Installation Install VirtualBox. VirtualBox Downloads. Install Homebrew. Homebrew Website. If Homebrew is already installed, then be sure to do a brew update. Tap the DevTools repository. Brew tap phase2/devtools. Install DevTools (and dependencies) brew install devtools. This will install the devtools binary as well the Docker. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. “To install, drag this icon” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. The homebrew-cask repository has moved.Did you try: brew tap caskroom/cask brew install brew-cask brew cask install virtualbox instead of phinz? Update: As Jon Nalley points out, brew install brew-cask is now deprecated: Important December 2015 update: Homebrew-Cask will now be kept up to date together with Homebrew (see #15381 for details).

Question or issue on macOS:

I’m trying to setup up MySQL on mac os 10.6 using Homebrew by brew install mysql 5.1.52.

Everything goes well and I am also successful with the mysql_install_db.
However when I try to connect to the server using:

I get:

I’ve tried to access mysqladmin or mysql using -u root -proot as well,
but it doesn’t work with or without password.

This is a brand new installation on a brand new machine and as far as I know the new installation must be accessible without a root password. I also tried:

but I also get

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

I think one can end up in this position with older versions of mysql already installed. I had the same problem and none of the above solutions worked for me. I fixed it thus:

Used brew’s remove & cleanup commands, unloaded the launchctl script, then deleted the mysql directory in /usr/local/var, deleted my existing /etc/my.cnf (leave that one up to you, should it apply) and launchctl plist

Updated the string for the plist. Note also your alternate security script directory will be based on which version of MySQL you are installing.

Step-by-step:

I then started from scratch:

installed mysql with brew install mysql
ran the commands brew suggested: (see note: below)
Start mysql with mysql.server start command, to be able to log on it
Used the alternate security script:
Followed the launchctl section from the brew package script output such as,

Note: the --force bit on brew cleanup will also cleanup outdated kegs, think it’s a new-ish homebrew feature.

Note the second: a commenter says step 2 is not required. I don’t want to test it, so YMMV!

Here are detailed instructions combining getting rid of all MySQL from your Mac then installing it The Brew Way as Sedorner wrote above:

Remove MySQL completely per The Tech Lab

ps -ax | grep mysql
stop and kill any MySQL processes
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mysql*
try to run mysql, it shouldn’t work

Brew install MySQL per user Sedorner from this StackOverflow answer

brew doctor and fix any errors
brew remove mysql
brew cleanup
brew update
brew install mysql
unset TMPDIR
mysql.server start
run the commands Brew suggests, add MySQL to launchctl so it automatically launches at startup

mysql should now work and be running all the time as expected

Godspeed.

Solution no. 3:

Had the same problem. Seems like there is something wrong with the set up instructions or the initial tables that are being created. This is how I got mysqld running on my machine.

If the mysqld server is already running on your Mac, stop it first with:

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

Start the mysqld server with the following command which lets anyone log in with full permissions.

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

Then run mysql -u root which should now let you log in successfully without a password. The following command should reset all the root passwords.

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NewPassword') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now if you kill the running copy of mysqld_safe and start it up again without the skip-grant-tables option, you should be able to log in with mysql -u root -p and the new password you just set.

Solution no. 4:

If brew installed MySQL 5.7, the process is a bit different than for previous versions.
In order to reset the root password, proceed as follows:

A temporary password will be printed to the console and it can only be used for updating the root password:

Solution no. 5:

Okay I had the same issue and solved it. For some reason the mysql_secure_installation script doesn’t work out of the box when using Homebrew to install mysql, so I did it manually. On the CLI enter:

That should get you into mysql. Now do the following (taken from mysql_secure_installation):

Now exit and get back into mysql with: mysql -u root -p

Solution no. 6:

I had the same problem just now. If you brew info mysql and follow the steps it looks like the root password should be new-password if I remember correctly. I was seeing the same thing you are seeing. This article helped me the most.

It turned out I didn’t have any accounts created for me. When I logged in after running mysqld_safe and did select * from user; no rows were returned. I opened the MySQLWorkbench with the mysqld_safe running and added a root account with all the privs I expected. This are working well for me now.

Solution no. 7:

If mysql is already installed

Stop mysql completely.

mysql.server stop <– may need editing based on your version
ps -ef | grep mysql <– lists processes with mysql in their name
kill [PID] <– kill the processes by PID

Remove files. Instructions above are good. I’ll add:

sudo find /. -name '*mysql*'
Using your judgement, rm -rf these files. Note that many programs have drivers for mysql which you do not want to remove. For example, don’t delete stuff in a PHP install’s directory. Do remove stuff in its own mysql directory.

Install

Hopefully you have homebrew. If not, download it.

I like to run brew as root, but I don’t think you have to. Edit 2018: you can’t run brew as root anymore

sudo brew update
sudo brew install cmake <– dependency for mysql, useful
sudo brew install openssl <– dependency for mysql, useful
sudo brew info mysql <– skim through this… it gives you some idea of what’s coming next
sudo brew install mysql --with-embedded; say done <– Installs mysql with the embedded server. Tells you when it finishes (my install took 10 minutes)

Afterwards

sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/var/mysql/ <– mysql wouldn’t work for me until I ran this command
sudo mysql.server start <– once again, the exact syntax may vary
Create users in mysql (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-user.html). Remember to add a password for the root user.

Solution no. 8:

brew info mysql

mysql.service start

or mysql -u root

I’m looking for a solution for some time but I can not solve my problem. I tried several solutions in stackoverflow.com but no this helping me.

Solution no. 9:

TL;DR 2.2 definition of derivativeap calculus.

MySQL server might not be running after installation with Brew. Try brew services start mysql or just mysql.server start if you don’t want MySQL to run as a background service.

Full Story:

I just installed MySQL (stable) 5.7.17 on a new MacBook Pro running Sierra and also got an error when running mysql_secure_installation:

Say what?

According to the installation info from Brew, mysql_secure_installation should prompt me to… secure the installation. I figured the MySQL server might not be running and rightly so. Running brew services start mysql and then mysql_secure_installation worked like a charm.

Solution no. 10:

Here is an update for MySQL 5.7

Hope this helps!

Mac Installation

Install VirtualBox

Install Homebrew

If Homebrew is already installed, then be sure to do a brew update

Tap the DevTools repository

brew tap phase2/devtools

Install DevTools (and dependencies)

brew install devtools

This will install the devtools binary as well the Docker and other dependencies.

Create the Docker Host

Once everything checks out, run the following command to create a new docker host. (You will likely be prompted for your admin password)

devtools start

Here are some configuration options available to you to customize your setup:

name: The Docker Machine name for the VM. Defaults to dev
driver: The driver to create the Docker Machine with. Choices are:
- virtualbox - default
- vmwarefusion
- xhyve
cpuCount: The number of virtual CPU you want to allocate to this VM. Defaults to 2
memSize: The size memory you want to configure for this VM, in Megabytes. Defaults to 4096
diskSize: The size drive you want to configure for this VM, in Gigabytes. Defaults to 40

Configure your shell to set DevTools Docker environment

To configure the shell with the proper DevTools environment, run the following commandafter the docker host has started from the previous step.

eval '$(devtools config)'

For convenience, you should make this automatic on every terminal you launch. To do that add the following to your .bash_profile, .zshrc or equivalent:

Running devtools config

Even with automatic execution in your shell, this command must be run in any existing terminal windows after devtools start or devtools restart commands. To support thatsee the dte alias in the shell init file above. Just run dte after a devtools start
