What is the easiest way to run Mysql on a Mac ?

The easiest way to run MySQL on a Mac is to install MAMP. The advantage is that it does not conflict with valet which is another powerful tool for local development specially with Laravel. If you do not want to face the same issue as the lost of your mysql password after installing with homebrew, MAMP is the my fastest solution

See StackOverflow issue : MacOSX homebrew mysql root password
