This step will open a text editor inside of your terminal, you want to delete the line that says MYSQLCOM=-YES- if you have one. sudo rm /usr/local/mysql sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql* sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My* nano /etc/hostconfig No one likes someone who rushes through these things that need a little patience to happen (just ask your girlfriend/wife). In your terminal type these commands, in this order. Stop MySQL first if you can (I couldn’t my computer started to hang again) Ok, actually that is putting it too nicely, you are completely fucked! It won’t work at all, there was even this guy once that tried to make it work and failed miserably (oh shoot, that idiot that thought it might work was me again).Īlright, now let’s perform the exorcism of MySQL 5.7! The problem is that without that extra 2% you are pretty much screwed. So here is the deal, you have 98% of MySQL installed right now on your computer. Step 2: Remove (“Uninstall”) any sign of MySQL I promise the next part is far more important. Ok, so that might have been drawn out, but I am getting to the point I am bored, so I had to entertain myself. Press the power button again to awaken the beast.Pray to whatever Deity you pray to, that everything is going to be ok.Close everything on your computer and then hold down the power key until the last whisper of life hisses out of your Mac.Press Command + Option + Escape (all together like they are having a three-way) and kill your “installer” process.Hint: you and your terminal need to be BFF’s to continue. Luckily for you, some poor soul (that’s me again…) is about to open up the kimono and tell you all my secrets. For those of you that make a living by developing web apps that run off Mysql in the background (oh right, thats me!) then you still need to find a way to make this work. Right? We all need a little MySQL in our lives. I was able to install the “latest” version of 5.6, but not any version of 5.7. Older versions of the installer also seem to work. I noticed the problem because I had wiped my harddrive clean before upgrading. I hope this helps any Oracle tech reading this right now. The database itself seems to work, it is the install process that breaks. This assumption is made because it appears those users who had successfully installed MySQL 5.7 on previous versions of MacOS and then upgraded to MacOS Sierra are unaffected. It does appear that the problem is not with MySQL 5.7 itself, but rather with the install script.
