If you installed MariaDB, try sudo mysql
If you installed MySQL try sudo mysql -u root -p

Is this OSMC?
Yes, it is OSMC. I am trying to follow (for Mac)
The recommended way is to use a common database (via MYSQL).

Which, of course, has no reference to “-u root -p”. But I tried that and got the mysql command line and entered (as instructed)
CREATE USER 'kodi' IDENTIFIED BY 'kodi';GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'kodi';
Both commands gave a response
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
I exited and went to /usr/local/mysql/support-files/ as instructed but there is no my-huge.cnf
Here is the directory I see:
jbuccino@Joes-2019-MBP support-files % ls -al
total 40

Clearly the instructions are out of date or I am missing something. Does anyone have any ideas?
