Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged. Please run mysql_upgrade

mysqld_safe –skip-grant-tables –user=root &
mysql_fix_privilege_tables
pkill mysqld

mysql_upgrade
mysql_upgrade: Got error: 2002: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) while connecting to the MySQL server

Not working? Still:

mysql

Maybe?
mysql_install_db
[WARNING] mysql_install_db is deprecated. Please consider switching to mysqld –initialize

mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql___
mysqld –initialize –explicit_defaults_for_timestamp –user=mysql
