Will be discussing on installing latest MySQL open source relational database system version 8.0 on OEL7. You can download the MySQL software from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/ or Oracle Metalink website. Let's get started, we can split this installation into three parts as below:
1. Download MySQL software
2. Secure MySQL Installation
3. Create the Database
[root@sajidserver~]#yum install mysql-community-server
Look for the temporary password, which you need it for secure installation.
[root@sajidserver~]#grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

Now let's connect to MySQL and create the database.
