1.1. Installation‌

To install MySQL, run the following command from a terminal prompt:

sudo apt install mysql-server

Once the installation is complete, the MySQL server should be started automatically. You can run the following command from a terminal prompt to check whether the MySQL server is running:

sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql

When you run this command, you should see the following line or something similar:

tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 2556/mysqld

If the server is not running correctly, you can type the following command to start it:

sudo systemctl restart mysql.service
