MySQL Community Edition (CE) Cheat-Sheet
MySQL Community Edition is the freely downloadable version of the world's most popular open source database.
Project Homepage: MySQL Community Edition Documentation: MySQL Docs
Editor's note: The MariaDB Project was forked from MySQL when Sun Microsystems' intellectual property was acquired by Oracle. MariaDB still shares enormous inter-compatibility with MySQL functions and software interoperability, and performance at most scales is arguably indiscernible from MySQL CE. In this writers' opinion it is not beneficial in most cases to favor Oracle's monetized option over the GPL's MariaDB alternative.
Installation
Install MySQL on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Zorin/Deb forks
Warning
Common Debian repositories don't populate MySQL CE and require a vendor-provided repository available here. The repo file in this example is current as of 2024-01-20.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y lsb-release gnupg
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.29-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.29-1_all.deb
sudo mkdir /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y mysql-community-server mysql-common mycli --install-recommends
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Install MySQL on RHEL/Fedora/CentOS/Alma/Rocky
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install -y mysql-server mysql-common mycli
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Install MySQL on Arch/Manjaro/Arco/ Arch forks
Warning
Common Arch repositories don't populate MySQL CE and the vendor doesn't provide one. The packages are available in the AUR but this is *not recommended* for a production environment!!
Enable the AUR (if not already available)
[!notice] This must be done by a non-root user!
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
Proceed with installation from the AUR
yay pacman -Syyu
yay -S mysql mysql-utilities mycli --noconfirm
sudo mysql_secure_installation
