The install instructions are all there but a bit detailed.

These are just shortcuts:

  1. Install from the DMG
  2. Set alias for the commands:
    alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
    alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
    or add to your PATH
  3. Set the root password:
    mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p
    Enter password: (enter the random password here)
  4. Use the Visual Studio Code MySQL Extension to connect to 127.0.0.1 and run queries
