Is there a way to access the mysql database without running MAMP?

Question

I'm working on laravel, and I run the project using the command

 php -S localhost:8888 -t public

But When I want to look at the database I quit and go to run the MAMP , to access the phpMyAdmin ?

is there any way to use mysql without having to run mamp ?

Answer 1

I use Sequel Pro. I'm assuming you're on a Mac since you use MAMP.

Answer 2

Mysql doesn't require apache server to run. You can use mysql cli for accessing database. Link to install mysql

use mysql -u {username} -p and enter password
