How to Install MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages

Install MySQL with another different way.

1) Download RPM packages zip file “V74391-01.zip” for MySQL 5.6.23 with files below:

MySQL RMP packages

2) unpack the zip file.

# unzip V74391-01.zip
Archive: V74391-01.zip
 extracting: MySQL-shared-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-test-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-devel-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-shared-compat-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-embedded-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-server-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: MySQL-client-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
 extracting: README.txt

3)To perform a standard minimal installation, install the server and client RPMs:

#rpm -i MySQL-server-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
#rpm -i MySQL-client-advanced-5.6.23-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

4) Or to install packages using yum. In a directory containing all RPM packages for a MySQL release, “yum install MySQL*rpm” installs them in the correct order.

 [root@racnode1 MySQL_5_6_23_RPMS]# yum install MySQL*rpm

How to Install MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries

Another way to Install MySQL on Unix/Linux.

1) Download “V74396-01.zip” which contains:

V74396-01

There are two files – ASC and MD5 for “mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz”.

a: Verify MD5 checksum:

$ cat mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz.md5
f2ace50e757f1a63736e8dcbf5cfeb19 mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz

$ md5sum mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz
f2ace50e757f1a63736e8dcbf5cfeb19 mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz

b) Signature Checking Using GnuPG.

To obtain a copy of our public GPG build key by copying or download from http://pgp.mit.edu/( The key is” mysql-build@oss.oracle.com”) to file mysql_pubkey.asc.

To import the build key into your personal public GPG keyring:

[root@racnote1 .gnupg]# gpg --import mysql_pubkey.asc
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 5072E1F5: public key "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
[root@racnote1 .gnupg]# ls -ltr
total 28
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5968 Mar 24 12:02 mysql_pubkey.asc
-rw-------. 1 root root 0 Mar 24 13:07 secring.gpg
-rw-------. 1 root root 4434 Mar 24 13:07 pubring.gpg~
-rw-------. 1 root root 4434 Mar 24 13:07 pubring.gpg
-rw-------. 1 root root 1200 Mar 24 13:07 trustdb.gpg

To  verify the signature for the distribution file:

[root@racnote1 Patches]# gpg --verify mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz.asc
gpg: Signature made Fri 30 Jan 2015 17:49:39 AEDT using DSA key ID 5072E1F5
gpg: Good signature from "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: A4A9 4068 76FC BD3C 4567 70C8 8C71 8D3B 5072 E1F5

2) Remove the previous MySQL installation.

a. Stop MySQL server

$service mysqld stop

b. Remove mysql-community-server and RPM packages.

[root@racnote1 Patches]# yum remove mysql-community-server
