As always...

Start with:

MySQL on Debian

Debian does not have MySQL in its repositories... :(

We can solve this!

Check the MySQL download page for current version...

If you're happy with 8.0.28, go ahead, download & install.

(Do note: apt update may throw errors if you don't use the latest version.)

It may ask about distro version. On LMDE 4 or SparkyLinux 5, Select "debian buster" (It won't ask on Debian...)

Select "Ok"

Some versions will also ask about Configuring mysql-community-server

Pick a good root password...
I tend to select Use Legacy Authentication Method because Use Strong Password Encryption is annoying as hell. (Your choice here...)

Update & Upgrade everything now...

Now you can go ahead & pretend they haven't dropped MySQL from the Debian repos...
