Installing MySQL on Linux
It’s simple to install MySQL on Linux using the RPM file.
Alternatively, you can install the RPMs through GnoRPM (found under System).
If you don’t get the prompt for password, it might be because MySQL Server is not running. To start the server, change to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory and issue the command ./mysql start (or mysql start depending on the value of the PATH variable on your system). Now invoke mysql client program.
Okay, we’ve successfully installed MySQL on your system. Now let’s look at some MySQL basics.
