Mysql uninstallation and installation under Mac

Uninstall mysql under mac:

1. Open the terminal terminal: enter the command:

mysql -u root -p

Then you will be prompted to enter the password of the mysql database, just enter it.

2. Enter the code command at this time:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.

Then enter the password to delete the previously installed mysql on the Mac. At this time, you can enter the first command again: at this time, the terminal will display: command not found: mysql

ps: Another more intuitive way to check whether mysql has been successfully deleted: You can directly open the settings to see if the mysql icon in the last column has been deleted. If there is no mysql icon, it means that mysql has been successfully uninstalled.
