Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink share/man/man8/mysqld.8
/usr/local/share/man/man8 is not writable.
You can try again using:
brew link mysql
==> /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.12/bin/mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=iosdevlog --basedir=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql
==> Caveats
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
To have launchd start mysql now and restart at login:
brew services start mysql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mysql.server start
