To start the MySQL database, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal or command prompt window.
  2. If MySQL is already installed as a system service: sudo systemctl start mysql
  3. If MySQL is not installed as a system service, run: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable) to confirm the start of the MySQL server.
  5. After the startup is complete, you can connect to the MySQL database using MySQL client tools such as MySQL Shell, MySQL Workbench, or the command line.
