Debian Linux Install MySQL Database Server

10 Feb 2023Best/Tutorial

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

Update the package list:
```
sudo apt update
```
Install the MySQL server package:
```
sudo apt install mysql-server
```
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.
Start the MySQL service:
```
sudo systemctl start mysql
```
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.
Configure the MySQL service to start automatically at boot:
```
sudo systemctl enable mysql
```

rnAfter 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.
