How to install MySQL server in fedora

In order to install MySQL server in fedora, we must follow these steps:

Process

1. Within the machine execute this command

[user@machine ~]# sudo dnf install mysql mysql-server

2. Within the machine execute this command

[user@machine ~]# sudo systemctl start mariadb.service

3. Once it is done installing, you can set a root MySQL password:

[user@machine ~]# sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

4. The prompt will ask you for your current root password. 

Since you just installed MySQL, you most likely won’t have one, so leave it blank by pressing enter.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Then the prompt will ask you if you want to set a root password. Go ahead and choose Y and follow the instructions. 

Fedora automates the process of setting up MySQL, asking you a series of yes or no questions. 

It’s easiest just to say Yes to all the options. At the end, MySQL will reload and implement the new changes.

<pre>By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!
