How to install latest mysql 5.6 on CentOS7

This is a step by step tutorial of how to install mysql 5.6 on centOS 7.

CentOS replaced Mysql with MariaDB in its official yum repository. MariaDB is fine but if you still miss InnoDb and the tuned parameters you are familiar with you can still install the latest mysql 5.6 version. Here is how to do that:

1. Add mysql community into your rpm repo

yum install http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm

2. install mysql

yum install mysql-community-server

3. start mysql

systemctl start mysqld

you can modify the config file to optimize your mysql

[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/my.cnf

4. restart your mysql service

systemctl restart mysqld
