Debian Linux Install MySQL Database Server

To install the MySQL database server on Debian Linux, you can follow these steps:

1. Update the package list:
   sudo apt update

2. Install the MySQL server package:
   sudo apt install mysql-server

3. During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for the MySQL server. Choose a strong password and remember it, as you will need it later to manage the MySQL server.
4. Start the MySQL service:
   sudo systemctl start mysql

5. Verify that the MySQL service is running:
   sudo systemctl status mysql


   This will display the status of the MySQL service and show that it is running.

6. Configure the MySQL service to start automatically at boot:
   sudo systemctl enable mysql


After completing these steps, the MySQL database server will be installed and running on your Debian system. You can use the mysql command line client or a GUI client to connect to the MySQL server and manage databases and tables.
