Installing MySQL on Linux

This page describes how the different MySQL versions can be installed on Linux Operating System.

Installation methods

MySQL can be installed in 3 ways in Linux environments:

Using the MySQL packages from the Linux distribution.
This option installs the latest, supported and tested, version for the Linux distribution which might be newer than the one which codebeamer has been tested on.

Using the Oracle/MySQL repository as described at: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/linux-installation.html.
This option allows to choose between the latest versions of the supported MySQL variants (e.g. 5.7 or 8.0 or Cluster).

Oracle/MySQL repositories needs to be provided with higher priority than the distribution repository has.

Using the generic Linux binaries and executing the deployment according to the description at: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/binary-installation.html page.
This allows the installation of any MySQL versions - including the exact version codebeamer was tested on, however, this requires a fully manual deployment and configuration. The deployment is considered as a non-secure configuration and should not be used in production systems.
The following deployment description contains a reference to perform a secure installation: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-secure-deployment-guide/8.0/en/
- For a basic secure setup, see Chapters 1-5.

To avoid interference during the manual deployment, the MySQL packages need to be disabled in the Linux distribution repositories.

All distribution based installation and configuration files need to be removed and cleaned up before the manual deployment.
