When you install NVM using Homebrew, you still need to add the following lines to your shell configuration file (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.)

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

If you are using the Bash shell, open the ~/.bashrc file in your favorite text editor, and add the following lines at the end of the file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

If you are using the Zsh shell, open the ~/.zshrc file in your favorite text editor, and add the following lines at the end of the file:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"

After adding the lines to the appropriate file, save it and close the editor. Then, restart your terminal or run the source command to load the changes:

source ~/.bashrc source ~/.zshrc

ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'mysql_native_(Password)' is not loaded

I wasn't prompted to set a root password during the installation and so whenever I tried to use mysql via the mysql -u root -p command. I got this error => Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.

So I searched stack overflow and found an answer that involved setting the authentication plugin to mysql_native_password. the query looked something like this...

UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password";
However, for some reason I typed the command manually instead of copying it and I seem to have written mysql-native-password instead of mysql_native_password (stupid me!!!)

now I tried to access the mysql shell in various ways but I always get the following error!

ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'mysql-native-password' is not loaded

Tried with safe mode : sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
also happens to be the same problem ,
