Installing MySQL5

The first package that we are going to install is called MySQL5.

Tip

All these instructions assume that you have logged in as Root and your network IP address is 192.168.10.127.

To do this, we enter the following command into a terminal (or SSH) window:

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

Once the software has finished installing, the first thing we have to do is set up a root user password.

In the terminal window, enter p. The following message will appear in the window, as shown in the following screenshot:

New password for the MySQL "root" user:

You will then be asked to repeat the password with the following message, as shown here:

Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user:

That's it; we are done with MySQL for now.
