Permission issues above?

$ mysql.server stop
#unset the temporary directory
$ echo $TMPDIR
$ unset TMPDIR
$ echo $TMPDIR

$ mysqld -initialize --verbose --user=$(whoami) --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp

$ mysql.server restart
$ mysql -u root
#You should now be in the mysql command line shell
mysql> SELECT User, Host, authentication_string FROM mysql.user;
mysql> rename user 'root'@'localhost' to '<yourUsername>'@'localhost';
#confirm
mysql> SELECT User, Host, authentication_string FROM mysql.user;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit
Reconfirm Access

$ mysql -u <username> -p
