General steps:
As root user:
# groupadd mysql
# useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz
Decide where the mysql software will be located e.g /usr/local
cd /usr/local
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz
You end up with /usr/local/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz
tar –xzvf /usr/local/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz
ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64 mysql
cd mysql
Create a location to put the mysql-files (data files, Log files, backups etc)
Create the folders or directories
mkdir –p /usr/local/data
mkdir –p /usr/local/logs
mkdir –p /usr/local/backups
Make sure mysql user and mysql group owns the folders and files in them
chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/data
chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/logs
chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/backups
Modify the permissions
chmod 750 /usr/local/data
chmod 750 /usr/local/logs
chmod 750 /usr/local/backups
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/data-directory-initialization-mysqld.html
Make sure that the database directories and files are owned by the mysql login account so that the server
has read and write access to them when you run it later. To ensure this, start mysqld from the system
root account and include the --user
bin/mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
NB: It might be necessary to specify other options such as --basedir or --datadir if mysqld cannot
identify the correct locations for the installation directory or data directory.
bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/data
bin/mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/data
Alternatively, put the relevant option settings in an option file and pass the name of that file to mysqld
In /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
basedir=/usr/local/mysql
datadir=/usr/local/data
Then invoke mysqld on a single line with the --defaults-file option first:
bin/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
Start MySQL
For now let’s not generate ssl certificates, so skip step 11
bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
The mysqld_safe will start mysqld server as the mysql user and the & will send the mysqld_safe
command to the background.
Check the error log for verification of a successful startup and then log in.
After connecting, assign a new root password:
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server
Its best to call the script by the name you will use to call it with either
the service command or systemctl command.
Also older systems put it in /etc/rc.d./init.d
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysqld
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d./init.d/mysqld
Make sure MySQL server starts when the Linux server reboots:
Make sure it runs on run levels 3,4 and 5
chkconfig --add mysqld
the mysqld will be the name of the script needed to run or start MySQL
server. It the name was mysql instead of mysqld:
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql
chkconfig --add mysql
Verify the run levels at which MySQL Server will run or be on
chkconfig --list mysqld
or
chkconfig --list mysql
Make sure you can get to all the MySQL programs or executable binaries from
anywhere on the system you are logged into by adding the bin folder path to
the Linux OS system path.
The ln command makes a symbolic link to the installation directory. This
enables you to refer more easily to it as /usr/local/mysql. To avoid having
to type the full path name of client programs always when you are working
with MySQL, you can add the /usr/local/mysql/bin directory to your PATH
variable:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.7.21-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64 mysql
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
To make this permanent to the system to survive a linux reboot add the export
to the system profile and your bash_profile file.
First, let’s see your current $PATH’s value.
$ echo $PATH
In different shells this can be:
Bash shell -> ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or profile
Korn Shell -> ~/.kshrc or .profile
Z shell -> ~/.zshrc or .zprofile
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"' >> /etc/profile
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
The changes will not take effect until you log out of the terminal and re-log
back in.
Force the system to re-read the profile files while logged in:
source ~/.bash_profile
