MySQL installation failure in OS X Yosemite!!

Recently I upgrade my MacBook Pro to latest Mac OS X version Yosemite. And when I try to install mysql,  after completing the installation process , it is showing "The installation failed" message as shown below. I google for it and I found that actually mysql got installed successfully, but it was showing that message.




You can start working only mysql by starting mysql server. And below are the steps to do it.

To start mysql server:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

To stop mysql server:
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

to login mysql via terminal:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
