首先，请确认正确安装好MySQL。
一、配置环境变量path（可跳过）
1.1 打开终端,输入：cd ~ 会进入 ~文件夹
1.2 然后输入：touch .bash_profile 回车执行后
1.3 再输入：open -e .bash_profile 会在TextEdit中打开这个文件（如果以前没有配置过环境变量,那么这应该是一个空白文档）。如果有内容，请在结束符前输入，如果没有内容，请直接输入如下语句：export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin 然后，保存（control + x，y）退出TextEdit（一定是退出），关闭终端并退出。此时应该可以直接用以下语句登入MySQL了。
>mysql -uroot -p
二、配置my-default.cnf / my.cnf
2.1 查看一下support-files文件夹（Finder下"前往文件夹"；路径:/usr/local/mysql/support-files 可以在终端里输入 open /usr/local/mysql/support-files 直接打开）里面有没有my-default.cnf或my.cnf文件；如果有则直接打开。
在[client] 在下面添加
default-character-set=utf8 默认字符集为utf8
在[mysqld] 添加
default-character-set=utf8 默认字符集为utf8
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8' （设定连接mysql数据库时使用utf8编码，以让mysql数据库为utf8运行）
修改好后，重新启动mysql查看当前数据编码格式。
（查看当前数据编码格式）>mysql show variables like '%char%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | utf8 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | utf8 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
若终端出现如上样式则OK了,否则继续往下看：
2.2 support-files文件夹里面没有my-default.cnf或my.cnf文件,那么就要在/etc下新建my.cnf
$ cd /etc
$ sudo vim my.cnf
2.3 进行完上步操作后会进入vim模式,此时复制(***文本)的内容粘贴进去,,(不包含 ***文本 )文本内容如下；
2.4 粘贴成功后注意看vim的第一行"#"有没有丢掉(本人就丢过~~哈哈~),都OK的话点esc退出编辑，:wq!--保存后强制退出。
[附几个编辑命令：dd删除光标所在行；dw删除一个字(word)；x删除当前字符]。

# Example MySQL config file for medium systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays
# an important part, or systems up to 128M where MySQL is used together with
# other programs (such as a web server)
#
# MySQL programs look for option files in a set of
# locations which depend on the deployment platform.
# You can copy this option file to one of those
# locations. For information about these locations, see:
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/option-files.html
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=, MASTER_PORT=,
# MASTER_USER=, MASTER_PASSWORD= ;
#
# where you replace , , by quoted strings and
# by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host =
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user =
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password =

# The port the master is listening on.
