Mysql installation

After installing mysql, you should be able to invoke the mysql command from the terminal. If it doesn't work, try pasting this into your .bash_profiel

$ PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin

The next thing to do is to reset the password.

$ mysql -u root - p
# Enter the password that is provided by oracle
$  SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');
