In the last article we talked about how to install a DBMS called MySQL from the official repository, in this instruction we will give an algorithm for installing the same solution from the developer's repository. Note that this task is somewhat more difficult to solve than the previous one, but you will need to allocate a little more time.

Installing a DBMS from the developer's repository

How to install a DBMS? Now we need to install the downloaded package. To do this, use a simple command:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/mysql-apt-config

During the configuration of the package, you will need to answer several questions from the installer. On the start screen, select Ok and press Enter.

Already on the next screen, we configure the version of the component. At the moment, only the MySQL version is available, which means that you can leave all the settings unchanged. Find the desired item Ok (use the up/down buttons) and press Enter:

Next, update the list of packages in the repositories:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client

The instruction is completed. We wish you a successful solution of the task.
