3.2. Installing MySQL

Procédure

1. Install MySQL server packages:

   # dnf install mysql-server

2. Start the mysqld service:

   # systemctl start mysqld.service

3. Enable the mysqld service to start at boot:

   # systemctl enable mysqld.service

4. Recommended: To improve security when installing MySQL, run the following command:

   $ mysql_secure_installation

   The command launches a fully interactive script, which prompts for each step in the process. The script enables you to improve security in the following ways:

   • Setting a password for root accounts
   • Removing anonymous users
   • Disallowing remote root logins (outside the local host)
