Installing MySQL on Ubuntu 16<\/h1>\n

MySQL installation on Ubuntu 16 is not very different from previous versions. Actually, the package names are the same and even the MySQL secure installation script is very similar.<\/p>\n

GETTING STARTED<\/h2>\n

To complete this guide, you will need the following:
\n\u2022 1 Node (Cloud Server<\/a> or Dedicated Servers<\/a>) with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed<\/p>\n

Installation<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

To install MySQL, first set apt-get to query the most up to date list of repositories by running an apt-get update.<\/p>\n

apt-get update<\/code><\/p>\n

We will install 3 packages: mysql-server, libmysqlclient-dev, python-mysqldb. Mysql-server is the main MySQL package, libmysqlclient-dev is the MySQL development library and python-mysqldb is the python interface for MySQL. While the mysql-server package is essential, the others are optional and listed there as they may be useful for most usage. The command is as follow:<\/p>\n

apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev python-mysqldb<\/code><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
