title: MySQL from OSX Terminal
body: <p>I seem to be missing something as all of the tutorials that show how to run MySQL from OSX's command line aren't working.</p>
  
  <p>I can turn the MySQL Server status on and off via System preferences, but if I follow one of the tutorial that shows how to run from the command line  using <code>sudo mysqld_safe</code> it returns the <code>sudo: mysqld: command not found</code></p>
  
  <p>I've also tried logging into MySQL using <code>mysql -u root -p</code> and I get <code>bash: mysql: command not found</code></p>
  
  <p><code>/usr/local/mysql/bin/</code> does exist I just feel like something wasn't installed properly on the client side.  Any help figuring out how to access mysql from the terminal would be very much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.</p>
