Infoscreen: start local MySQL on mbax

We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:

mysql_secure_installation

MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default

To connect run:

mysql -uroot

mysql@5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.

If you need to have mysql@5.7 first in your PATH run:

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find mysql@5.7 you may need to set:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/include"

For pkg-config to find mysql@5.7 you may need to set:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/lib/pkgconfig"

To have launchd start mysql@5.7 now and restart at login:

brew services start mysql@5.7

Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:

/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin/mysql.server start
