How do I install command line MySQL client on mac?

Question

I want to install the MySQL client for the command line, not a GUI. I have searched over the web but only found instructions on installing the MySQL server.

If you installed from the DMG on a mac, it created a mysql client but did not put it in your user path.

Add this to your .bash_profile:

export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH

This will let you run mysql from anywhere as you.
