zsh: command not found: mysql. MySQL is not compatible for zsh?

Question

Isn't possible to install MySQL in zsh in macOS?

I have been trying to install MySQL on my Mac.

zsh: command not found: mysql

Should I give up setting MySQL on zsh and try to do in bash?

==> Caveats
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
    mysql_secure_installation

MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default

To connect run:
    mysql -uroot

mysql@5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.

If you need to have mysql@5.7 first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find mysql@5.7 you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/include"


To have launchd start mysql@5.7 now and restart at login:
  brew services start mysql@5.7
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin/mysql.server start

I checked if it installed:

stackover@stackoverjunoMacBook-Air ~ % mysql --version     

but

zsh: command not found: mysql

I also tried this:

stackover@stackoverjunoMacBook-Air ~ % mysql -uroot
zsh: command not found: mysql

stackover@stackoverjunoMacBook-Air ~ % mysql --version
zsh: command not found: mysql

Your shell does not automagically pick up new executables from your $path. For the shell to find the new executable, you will need to

• rebuild your shell’s command lookup table with

  hash -fr
  

• restart your shell with

  exec zsh
  

• or open a new tab in your terminal.
