下面我包括了最新的说明从brew安装mysql，以便更新搜索这个问题可以受益:

$ brew install mysql
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/mysql-5.6.26.yosemite.bottle.1.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring mysql-5.6.26.yosemite.bottle.1.tar.gz

To connect:
    mysql -uroot

To have launchd start mysql at login:
  ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load mysql now:
  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
  mysql.server start

在我的情况下，我现在通过launchctl load加载mysql ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mx .mysql。Plist，然后能够启动$ mysql和我的方式。

我设法通过将localhost更改为127.0.0.1来解决这个问题

我经历了这个问题，我设法运行mysql服务器使用下面的解决方案

通过.dmg(https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.7.html)安装mysql，你会在系统首选项中看到mysql服务面板，然后从面板中启动mysql并尝试

Mysql -u root -p

附图供参考

试试这个

rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql && brew postinstall mysql@5.7 && brew services restart mysql@5.7

警告:此方法将删除/usr/local/var/mysql文件夹中的所有数据库

我在Homebrew上安装了MySQL，唯一解决这个问题的方法就是重新安装MySQL。

在我公司的笔记本电脑上，我没有通过Homebrew卸载MySQL的权限:

$ brew uninstall mysql --ignore-dependencies
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.12... (255 files, 233.0MB)
Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_rmdir - /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.12

所以，我手动删除并重新安装MySQL:

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/mysql
$ brew cleanup
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
$ brew install mysql

这奏效了!
