brew 安装 mysql 得到unknown variable 'tmpdir=/tmp'错误

Question

在 macbook 上用 brew 安装 mysql ，运行：

mysql_install_db --verbose --user=`whoami` --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp

此命令后提示：

mysql_install_db: [ERROR] unknown variable 'tmpdir=/tmp'
2015-11-27 14:57:57 [ERROR]   Unrecognized options

Answer 1

I also encountered such a problem, and this is how I solved it for the time being. I downloaded the dmg format installation package from the mysql official website, installed it, and then added the mysql path to .bash_profile. This is how I used it for the time being. Submitted this issue.
