One of the significant benefits of MySQL is it’s ease of use. Generally already installed on most Linux systems, MySQL can be installed by a single command if not yet present. On Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 you can use the following commands to check for MySQL, configure your yum repository and install MySQL.
# Check if already installed $ rpm -qa | grep -i mysql # Configure yum repository on new server $ su - $ cd /tmp $ wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo $ sed -e "s/enabled=0/enabled=1/" public-yum-el5.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-el5.repo # Install MySQL $ yum install -y mysql-server mysql # Start and test MySQL Instance $ /etc/init.d/mysqld start $ mysql -uroot -e "SELECT VERSION" +-----------+ | VERSION() | +-----------+ | 5.0.77 | +-----------+
