Building Applications with Spring 5 and Kotlin

Using TAR

Extract the TAR content at the /usr/local/mysql location.

Then follow the procedure:

$ groupadd mysql 
$ useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql 
$ cd /usr/local 
$ tar zxvf [ path to your downloaded file  ].tar.gz 
$ ln -s [ full path to mysql] mysql 
$ cd mysql 
$ mkdir mysql-files 
$ chmod 750 mysql-files 
$ chown -R mysql . 
$ chgrp -R mysql . 
$ bin/mysql_install_db -user=mysql 
$ bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql 
$ bin/mysql_ssl_rsa_setup 
$ chown -R root . 
$ chown -R mysql data mysql-files 
$ bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & 
$ cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server 

We have a MySQL local server instance up and running. We are ready to do some Spring Data JPA development!
