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 8.0.27, go ahead, download & install.
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.20-1_all.debsudo apt install ./mysql-apt-config_0.8.20-1_all.deb
It may ask about distro version. On LMDE 4 or SparkyLinux 5, Select "debian buster" (It won't ask on Debian...)
Select "Ok"
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...
sudo apt updatesudo apt upgrade
Now you can go ahead & pretend they haven't dropped MySQL from the Debian repos...
