What to install for mysql?

rated 0 times [ 9] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1974 / 3 Years ago, mon, september 6, 2021, 3:50:11

I am going to learn mysql by myself, so I would like to install mysql on . But there are many applications related to mysql in synaptics. I was wondering what are some basic applications to be installed?

Consider these two cases: mysql for webserver use, or mysql not for webserver use. Will the packages to be installed for the two cases be different?

Thanks and regards!

The packages for the usages of MySQL will not vary at all. For a basic MySQL server (and client program so you can use the server), you will run the following:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

That will install both the server and the client program, as well as any dependencies that those programs require. The client program will allow you to interface with the database server. You may install the server without mysql-client, if you are going to not use the mysql command via the server's terminal (such as with a remote mysql client, or using the mysql command in a terminal from another computer).
