Installation

Steps for a Fresh Installation of MySQL

Adding the MySQL APT Repository

wget https://repo.mysql.com//mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb

During the installation of the package, you will be asked to choose the versions of the MySQL server and other components that you want to install. Do not change the default options selected for you and choose Ok to finish the configuration and installation of the release package.

Update package information from the MySQL APT repository with the following command (this step is mandatory):

sudo apt-get update

Installing MySQL with APT

sudo apt-get install mysql-server -y

Make sure you remember the root password you set.

In Select default authentication plugin, select Use Strong Password Encryption (RECOMMENDED) option.
