Importing a csv into mysql via command line

by

Try this command

 load data local infile 'file.csv' into table table
 fields terminated by ','
 enclosed by '"'
 lines terminated by '\n'
 (column1, column2, column3,...)

The fields here are the actual table fields that the data needs to sit in. The enclosed by and lines terminated by are optional and can help if you have columns enclosed with double-quotes such as Excel exports, etc.

For further details check the manual.

For setting the first row as the table column names, just ignore the row from being read and add the values in the command.
