MySQL compressed tar file binary distributions have names of
19
19
the form mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz, where VERSION is a number
20
(for example, 5.6.23), and OS indicates the type of operating
20
(for example, 5.6.25), and OS indicates the type of operating
21
21
system for which the distribution is intended (for example,
22
22
pc-linux-i686 or winx64).
24
To install MySQL from a compressed tar file binary
25
distribution, your system must have GNU gunzip to uncompress
26
the distribution and a reasonable tar to unpack it. If your
27
tar program supports the z option, it can both uncompress and
30
GNU tar is known to work. The standard tar provided with some
31
operating systems is not able to unpack the long file names
32
in the MySQL distribution. You should download and install
33
GNU tar, or if available, use a preinstalled version of GNU
34
tar. Usually this is available as gnutar, gtar, or as tar
35
within a GNU or Free Software directory, such as /usr/sfw/bin
36
or /usr/local/bin. GNU tar is available from
37
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/.

system native package management system, such as yum or
42
27
apt-get, you may experience problems installing using a
43
native binary. Make sure your previous MySQL previous
44
installation has been removed entirely (using your package
45
management system), and that any additional files, such as
46
old versions of your data files, have also been removed. You

There are several different methods to install MySQL on
292
293
MySQL distributions for Windows can be downloaded from
293
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. See Section 2.1.3, "How to
294
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. See Section 2.1.2, "How to
296
297
MySQL for Windows is available in several distribution
297
formats, detailed below. Generally speaking, you should use
298
formats, detailed here. Generally speaking, you should use

2.3.7 Upgrading MySQL on Windows
2305
2.3.7 Windows Postinstallation Procedures
2307
GUI tools exist that perform most of the tasks described in
2308
this section, including:
2310
* MySQL Installer: Used to install and upgrade MySQL
2313
* MySQL Workbench: Manages the MySQL server and edits SQL
2316
* MySQL Notifier: Starts, stops, or restarts the MySQL
2317
server, and monitors its status.
2320
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-for-excel/en/index.html):
2321
Edits MySQL data with Microsoft Excel.
2323
On Windows, you need not create the data directory and the
2324
grant tables. MySQL Windows distributions include the grant
2325
tables with a set of preinitialized accounts in the mysql
2326
database under the data directory.
2328
Regarding passwords, if you installed MySQL using the MySQL
2329
Installer, you may have already assigned passwords to the
2330
accounts. (See Section 2.3.3, "Installing MySQL on Microsoft
2331
Windows Using MySQL Installer.") Otherwise, use the
2332
password-assignment procedure given in Section 2.10.4,
2333
"Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts."
2335
Before assigning passwords, you might want to try running
2336
some client programs to make sure that you can connect to the
2337
server and that it is operating properly. Make sure that the
2338
server is running (see Section 2.3.5.4, "Starting the Server
2339
for the First Time"). You can also set up a MySQL service
2340
that runs automatically when Windows starts (see Section
2341
2.3.5.7, "Starting MySQL as a Windows Service").
2343
These instructions assume that your current location is the
2344
MySQL installation directory and that it has a bin
2345
subdirectory containing the MySQL programs used here. If that
2346
is not true, adjust the command path names accordingly.
2348
If you installed MySQL using MySQL Installer (see Section
2349
2.3.3, "Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using MySQL
2350
Installer"), the default installation directory is C:\Program
2351
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6:
2352
C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6"
2354
A common installation location for installation from a Zip
2355
package is C:\mysql:
2358
Alternatively, add the bin directory to your PATH environment
2359
variable setting. That enables your command interpreter to
2360
find MySQL programs properly, so that you can run a program
2361
by typing only its name, not its path name. See Section
2362
2.3.5.6, "Customizing the PATH for MySQL Tools."
2364
With the server running, issue the following commands to
2365
verify that you can retrieve information from the server. The
2366
output should be similar to that shown here.
2368
Use mysqlshow to see what databases exist:
2370
+--------------------+
2372
+--------------------+
2373
| information_schema |
2376
+--------------------+
2378
The list of installed databases may vary, but will always
2379
include the minimum of mysql and information_schema.
2381
The preceding command (and commands for other MySQL programs
2382
such as mysql) may not work if the correct MySQL account does
2383
not exist. For example, the program may fail with an error,
2384
or you may not be able to view all databases. If you
2385
installed MySQL using MySQL Installer, the root user will
2386
have been created automatically with the password you
2387
supplied. In this case, you should use the -u root and -p
2388
options. (You must use those options if you have already
2389
secured the initial MySQL accounts.) With -p, the client
2390
program prompts for the root password. For example:
2391
C:\> bin\mysqlshow -u root -p
2392
Enter password: (enter root password here)
2393
+--------------------+
2395
+--------------------+
2396
| information_schema |
2399
+--------------------+
2401
If you specify a database name, mysqlshow displays a list of
2402
the tables within the database:
2403
C:\> bin\mysqlshow mysql
2405
+---------------------------+
2407
+---------------------------+
2423
| time_zone_leap_second |
2425
| time_zone_transition |
2426
| time_zone_transition_type |
2428
+---------------------------+
2430
Use the mysql program to select information from a table in
2432
C:\> bin\mysql -e "SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user" mysql
2433
+------+-----------+
2435
+------+-----------+

some client programs to make sure that you can connect to the
2418
server and that it is operating properly. Make sure that the
2419
server is running (see Section 2.3.5.4, "Starting the Server
2420
for the First Time"), and then issue the following commands
2421
to verify that you can retrieve information from the server.
2422
You may need to specify directory different from C:\mysql\bin
2423
on the command line. If you installed MySQL using MySQL
2424
Installer, the default directory is C:\Program
2425
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6, and the mysql and mysqlshow
2426
client programs are in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
2427
5.6\bin. See Section 2.3.3, "Installing MySQL on Microsoft
2428
Windows Using MySQL Installer," for more information.

The list of installed databases may vary, but will always
2441
include the minimum of mysql and information_schema. In most
2442
cases, the test database will also be installed
2445
The preceding command (and commands for other MySQL programs
2446
such as mysql) may not work if the correct MySQL account does
2447
not exist. For example, the program may fail with an error,
2448
or you may not be able to view all databases. If you
2449
installed MySQL using MySQL Installer, then the root user
2450
will have been created automatically with the password you
2451
supplied. In this case, you should use the -u root and -p
2452
options. (You will also need to use the -u root and -p
2453
options if you have already secured the initial MySQL
2454
accounts.) With -p, you will be prompted for the root
2455
password. For example:
2456
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow -u root -p
2457
Enter password: (enter root password here)
2458
+--------------------+
2460
+--------------------+
2461
| information_schema |
2464
+--------------------+
2466
If you specify a database name, mysqlshow displays a list of
2467
the tables within the database:
2468
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow mysql
