There are several ways to find the installation directory of MySQL:

  1. Execute the following command in the command line:
  2. Retrieve the package library directory using the mysql_config command.
  3. This will return the installation directory of MySQL.
  4. Open the configuration file of MySQL (usually my.ini or my.cnf), locate the value of the “basedir” parameter in the file, which is the installation directory of MySQL.
  5. Execute the following command in the command line:
  6. Show me the version of MySQL.
  7. This will return information about the version of MySQL, including the path to the installation directory.

Please note that the methods above may vary slightly due to differences in operating systems and MySQL versions.
