I installed MySQL on my Mac, and now I would like to add it to my $PATH variable. I want to be able to type mysql anywhere. I tried adding the following to my .profile file: export PATH=${PATH}/usr/local/mysql/bin/ I have restarted my Terminal but it does not do the trick. It still says: -bash: mysql: command not found. How can I add this properly to my $PATH? I am using OS X Yosemite.
