Start the MySql server if its not running and optionally you can select the checkbox to automatically start MySql server on startup. There are so many Mac OS softwares that you can use for MySql database management but I liked SequelPro most, its easy to install and use and uses very less memory. In order to run mysqlupgrade, you need to login to MySQL Server via command line and invoke the package. The steps below are an example to run mysqlupgrade inside a MAMP Pro server environment. It is highly recommended to take a backup of your MySQL databases before running this command.
The package is located inside a disk image (
.dmg
) file that you first need to mount by double-clicking its icon in the Finder. It should then mount the image and display its contents.Using the official.pkg installer This is the fastest method for installing MySQL on your Mac, but only available for Intel processors. MySQL.com offers a standard MacOS installer package that installs the MySQL Server and several command line utilities. The download also includes a system preference pane for starting/stopping the server. MySQL server is now installed, but it is not loaded (or started) by default. Use either launchctl from the command line, or start MySQL by clicking 'Start' using the MySQL preference pane. For additional information, see Chapter 3, Installing a MySQL Launch Daemon, and Chapter 4, Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane.
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure to stop all running MySQL server instances by using either the MySQL Manager Application (on macOS Server), the preference pane, or mysqladmin shutdown on the command line.

- After a successful installation, the installer displays a window with your temporary root password. This cannot be recovered so you must save this password for the initial login to MySQL. For example:Figure 2.5 MySQL Package Installer Wizard: Temporary Root PasswordMySQL expires this temporary root password after the initial login and requires you to create a new password.

installs MySQL into /usr/local/mysql-5.7.34-osx10.13-x86_64/
