启动mysql提示符

我正在尝试使用mysql启动一个新的rails项目，但我在使用mysql时遇到了困难。这就是我想做的

Rails new name -d mysql

那我就试试这个

rake db:create

但是它给了我以下的错误

    #<Mysql2::Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)>
Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"mysql2", "encoding"=>"utf8", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"root", "password"=>nil, "host"=>"localhost", "database"=>"biller_development"}, {:charset=>"utf8", :collation=>"utf8_unicode_ci"}
(If you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation)
#<Mysql2::Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)>
Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"mysql2", "encoding"=>"utf8", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"root", "password"=>nil, "host"=>"localhost", "database"=>"biller_test"}, {:charset=>"utf8", :collation=>"utf8_unicode_ci"}
(If you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation)

对于mysql提示符，但它说找不到该命令。我安装了mysql 5.6，我有mysql工作台。我该怎么办？任何帮助都将不胜感激

提前感谢

您正在使用什么linux发行版，也许您有mariadb或类似的东西我正在使用Mac Yosemite OSCheck您的mysql安装，然后在

config/database.yml

上匹配您的设置以匹配您的mysql安装。

mysql -uroot
