Installing the RPM Package from the Official Website

The following describes how to install MySQL using the RPM package on the official website. This section describes how to install MySQL 8.0.17 on CentOS 7.6. You can refer to this section when installing MySQL of other versions.

1. Configure the local yum source.
   1. Back up the original yum repository files and create a directory for the repo file.

      1 2	mv /etc/yum.repos.d/ /etc/yum.repos.d-bak mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d

   2. Write the new configuration to the repo file.

      1	echo -e "[local]\nname=local\nbaseurl=file:///mnt\ngpgcheck=0\nenabled=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo

   3. Check whether the new configuration is successfully written to repo in step 1.b.

      1	cat /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo

      If the command output is the same as the written content in 1.b, the operation is successful. Expected result:

      [local]
      name=local
      baseurl=file:///mnt
      gpgcheck=0
      enabled=1

2. Mount the OS image.

   Mount the OS image using either of the following methods:

   • Method 1: Use the KVM to mount the image to the /mnt/ directory.

     1	mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/

   • Method 2: Upload the OS image to the /home directory and mount the image to the /mnt/ directory.

     1	mount /home/CentOS-7-aarch64-Everything-1810.iso /mnt/

     

     Change the ISO file name based on your OS type.

3. Download the RPM package from the official website.
   1. Download the MySQL RPM package.

      Download URL: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/

      

   2. Create a mysql-rpm folder in the /home partition on the server, and upload the RPM package to the folder.

      1	mkdir /home/mysql-rpm

   3. Go to the directory of the RPM package and decompress the RPM package.

      1 2	cd /home/mysql-rpm tar xvf mysql-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm-bundle.tar

      If the following information is displayed, the RPM installation package is decompressed successfully:

      mysql-community-libs-compat-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-devel-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-server-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-common-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-libs-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-test-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-embedded-compat-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      mysql-community-client-8.0.17-1.el7.aarch64.rpm
      You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

4. Uninstall mariadb-libs of the OS. Otherwise, mysql-community-libs cannot be installed.

   1	yum -y remove mariadb-libs

5. Install dependencies.

   1	yum -y install net-tools

6. Go to the mysql-rpm directory and install the MySQL RPM packages.
