Note: mysql is already at v8.0.11 as of this point of writing, so make sure you explicitly install v5.7 by replacing mysql with [email protected].

Create a new entry into your PATH environment as the postinstall note suggests:

# Edit the Terminal startup configuration file.
open ~/.bash_profile

# Copy this into the file and save.
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"

# Apply the new Terminal startup configuration.
source ~/.bash_profile

Run mysql_secure_installation now that it's an available command.

Troubleshooting

Was the latest version of MySQL installed by mistake? Uninstall it.

brew uninstall mysql
brew cleanup

Did MySQL postinstall fail? Clear all MySQL local data.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
sudo rm /etc/my.cnf
