MySQL Installation on Linux

Install MySQL on Your Linux System

Follow the tutorial steps to install MySQL on your Linux distribution and run mysql_secure_installation.

Expected output: MySQL server installed, running, and secured with no errors.

Hint: Use your distribution's package manager and ensure you have sudo privileges.

Verify MySQL Installation

Log in to MySQL shell and list all databases to confirm successful installation.

Expected output: A list of default MySQL databases displayed.

Hint: Use 'mysql -u root -p' and then run 'SHOW DATABASES;'.

Use 'sudo apt update' to refresh packages, then 'sudo apt install mysql-server' to install MySQL, followed by 'sudo mysql_secure_installation' to secure the installation.

It helps secure the MySQL server by setting root passwords, removing anonymous users, disabling remote root login, and removing test databases.

Use 'sudo systemctl status mysql' or 'sudo systemctl status mysqld' depending on your distribution.
