I'm trying to follow thisguide on installing a MythTV backend on a Mac, but naturally, I'm stuck at the very 1st point!

I've downloaded and installed MySQL 5.7 from the provided link. When I get to: "Configuring Default Database Users" and type "./mysql -u root" in the terminal, I get" "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
