mysql command not found in bash

On my mac, if I type mysql --version in bash, the bash shows that command not found.

$ echo $PATH
/Users/merle/.nvm/versions/node/v11.10.0/bin:/usr/local/opt/mysql\@5.5/bin:/Users/merle/Downloads/mongodb-osx-x86_64-4.0.4/bin:/Applications/PostgreSQL\ 10/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands

$ /usr/local/opt/mysql\@5.5/bin/mysql --version
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.62, for osx10.14 (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

$ mysql --version
-bash: mysql: command not found

I add the mysql bin directory to my PATH variable in my .bashrc. I don't know what is going on.

You need to add mysql to your env. Based on what are you using (standard bash or zsh or other), you need to open the configuration file such as

~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile and add there the following

export PATH = "${PATH}/etc/local/mysql/bin"

Do not forget to do to apply the changes

source ~/.zshrc

The issue is with the backslash (\) in the PATH env:

/usr/local/opt/mysql\@5.5/bin

After removing it:

/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin
