What should be taken into consideration when installing MySQL in Linux?
When installing MySQL in Linux, it is important to keep the following in mind:
- Ensure that the system meets the minimum requirements for MySQL, such as having at least 512MB of memory. Different versions of MySQL may have different requirements, so it is important to consult the official documentation for specific requirements.
- Before installing MySQL, make sure that the necessary dependency packages, such as libaio and libnuma, have already been installed. These dependency packages can be installed using a package manager.
- You can obtain the installation package for MySQL by downloading it from the official website or using a package manager.
- Before installing MySQL, it is necessary to create a MySQL user and group first to run the MySQL service and manage databases.
- You can choose to install the MySQL installation directory and data directory in separate locations for easier management and maintenance.
- Adjust the server parameters of MySQL according to the requirements. These parameters can be modified by editing the MySQL configuration file.
- During the installation process, you may need to enter the root password for MySQL and other related configuration information, which should be set according to the actual situation.
- After the installation is completed, you need to start the MySQL service and perform necessary initialization operations. You can use command line tools or the system service manager to start and manage the MySQL service.
