Many Linux distributions include a version of the MySQL server, client tools, and development components into the standard package management system built into distributions such as Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo. This section provides basic instructions for installing MySQL using these systems.
Native package installations can take care of the download and dependencies required to run MySQL, but the MySQL version will often be some way behind the currently available release. You will also normally be unable to install development releases, as these are not usually made available in the native repository.
Distribution specific instructions are shown below:
Red Hat Linux, Fedora, CentOS
For Red Hat and similar distributions, the MySQL distribution is divided into a number of separate
packages, mysql
for the client tools, mysql-server
for the server and associated tools, and mysql-libs
for the libraries.
The libraries are required if you want to provide connectivity from different languages and
environments such as Perl, Python and others.
To install, use the yum command to specify the packages that you want to install. For example:

MySQL and the MySQL server should now be installed. A sample configuration file is installed into
/etc/my.cnf
. An init script, to start and stop the server, will have
been installed into /etc/init.d/mysqld
. To start the MySQL server use
service:
root-shell> service mysqld start
To enable the server to be started and stopped automatically during boot, use chkconfig:
root-shell> chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
Which enables the MySQL server to be started (and stopped) automatically at the specified the run levels.
The database tables will have been automatically created for you, if they do not already exist. You should, however, run mysql_secure_installation to set the root passwords on your server.
Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu
On Debian and related distributions, there are two packages, mysql-client
and mysql-server
, for the
client and server components respectively. You should specify an explicit version, for example mysql-client-5.1
, to ensure that you install the version of MySQL
that you want.
To download and install, including any dependencies, use the apt-get command, specifying the packages that you want to install.
Before installing, make sure that you update your apt-get
index files to ensure you are downloading the latest available version.
A sample installation of the MySQL packages might look like this (some sections trimmed for clarity):

The apt-get command will install a number of packages, including the MySQL server, in order to provide the typical tools and application environment. This can mean that you install a large number of packages in addition to the main MySQL package.
During installation, the initial database will be created, and you will be prompted for the MySQL
root password (and confirmation). A configuration file will have been created in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
. An init script will have been created in /etc/init.d/mysql
.
The server will already be started. You can manually start and stop the server using:
root-shell> service mysql [start|stop]
The service will automatically be added to the 2, 3 and 4 run levels, with stop scripts in the single, shutdown and restart levels.
Gentoo Linux
As a source-based distribution, installing MySQL on Gentoo involves downloading the source, patching the Gentoo specifics, and then compiling the MySQL server and installing it. This process is handled automatically by the emerge command. Depending on the version of MySQL that you want to install, you may need to unmask the specific version that you want for your chosen platform.
The MySQL server and client tools are provided within a single package, dev-db/mysql
.
You can obtain a list of the versions available to install by looking at the portage directory for
the package:
root-shell> ls /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/mysql-5.1*mysql-5.1.39-r1.ebuildmysql-5.1.44-r1.ebuildmysql-5.1.44-r2.ebuildmysql-5.1.44-r3.ebuildmysql-5.1.44.ebuildmysql-5.1.45-r1.ebuildmysql-5.1.45.ebuildmysql-5.1.46.ebuild
To install a specific MySQL version, you must specify the entire atom. For example:
root-shell> emerge =dev-db/mysql-5.1.46
A simpler alternative is to use the virtual/mysql-5.1
package, which
will install the latest version:
root-shell> emerge =virtual/mysql-5.1
If the package is masked (because it is not tested or certified for the current platform), use the
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS
environment variable. For example:
root-shell> ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =virtual/mysql-5.1
After installation, you should create a new database using mysql_install_db, and set the password for the root user on MySQL. You can use the configuration interface to set the password and create the initial database:
root-shell> emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.1.46
A sample configuration file will have been created for you in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
,
and an init script will have been created in /etc/init.d/mysql
.
To enable MySQL to start automatically at the normal (default) run levels, you can use:
root-shell> rc-update add mysql default
