The MySQL Server is now installed in the Windows Operating System. We can now access it via the Command Prompt or the UI products we installed with it (Shell and Workbench).

Installing MySQL on Linux/UNIX

The recommended way to install MySQL on a Linux system is via RPM. MySQL AB makes the following RPMs available for download on its website −

  • MySQL − The MySQL database server manages the databases and tables, controls user access and processes the SQL queries.

  • MySQL-client − MySQL client programs, which make it possible to connect to and interact with the server.

  • MySQL-devel − Libraries and header files that come in handy when compiling other programs that use MySQL.

  • MySQL-shared − Shared libraries for the MySQL client.

  • MySQL-bench − Benchmark and performance testing tools for the MySQL database server.

The MySQL RPMs listed here are all built on a SuSE Linux system, but they will usually work on other Linux variants with no difficulty.

Now, you will need to adhere to the steps given below, to proceed with the installation −

  • Login to the system using the root user.

  • Switch to the directory containing the RPMs.

  • Install the MySQL database server by executing the following command. Remember to replace the filename in italics with the file name of your RPM.

[root@host]# rpm -i MySQL-5.0.9-0.i386.rpm

The above command takes care of installing the MySQL server, creating a user of MySQL, creating necessary configuration and starting the MySQL server automatically.

You can find all the MySQL related binaries in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. All the tables and databases will be created in the /var/lib/mysql directory.

The following code box has an optional but recommended step to install the remaining RPMs in the same manner −

[root@host]# rpm -i MySQL-client-5.0.9-0.i386.rpm
[root@host]# rpm -i MySQL-devel-5.0.9-0.i386.rpm
[root@host]# rpm -i MySQL-shared-5.0.9-0.i386.rpm
[root@host]# rpm -i MySQL-bench-5.0.9-0.i386.rpm
