∟Install MySQL Database Server on CentOS

This section provides a tutorial example on how to install MySQL 8.0 server on CentOS 8 systems using 'dnf/yum' as the package manager.

If you want to use MySQL database server on CentOS Linux systems, you can follow what I did on my CentOS 8 computer:

1. Login as "herong", who has admin privileges.

2. Run "dnf search" to find available MySQL packages. I see "mysql-server" and some related modules available for installation: 

herong$ dnf search mysql

mysql.x86_64 : MySQL client programs and shared libraries
grafana-mysql.x86_64 : Grafana mysql datasource
postfix-mysql.x86_64 : Postfix MySQL map support
rsyslog-mysql.x86_64 : MySQL support for rsyslog
dovecot-mysql.x86_64 : MySQL back end for dovecot
perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 : A MySQL interface for Perl
freeradius-mysql.x86_64 : MySQL support for freeradius
mysql-server.x86_64 : The MySQL server and related files
mysql-test.x86_64 : The test suite distributed with MySQL
...

3. Install the "mysql-server" package: 

herong$ sudo dnf install mysql-server

3. Verify the "mysql" package: 

herong$ mysql --version

mysql  Ver 8.0.17 for Linux on x86_64 (Source distribution)

Cool! I have installed the "mysql-server" 8.0 on my CentOS computer without any issues. And the MySQL client program "mysql" is working. See next tutorial on how to start and stop MySQL server on CentOS systems.
