How Do You Install The Mysql Database Server On Your Windows PC?
• If you haven’t done so already, download the free MySQL Server Community Edition. (You can download the software from the MySQL website.) Be sure to download the Windows (x86) version (way at the bottom of the page), which includes a Windows Installer. Save the file on your Windows Desktop. • It’s time to install SQL Server. The installation file comes as a .zip file. Double click the file. Your unzipping software should open the file and show you a list of files inside the archive. There should be only 1, “Setup.exe”. There is no need to extract the file from the archive, just go ahead and double click the “Setup.exe” file. After you’ve done that, you should see a window that looks like this: MySQL Install Window Click “Next>”. • On the next window, click the radio button “Custom”, and then click “Next>”. Since we have installed Apache in C:\Server, we are going to install MySQL in the same directory. • On the next window, highlight “MySQL Server”, and then click the “change” button
