4. Verify that MySQL is installed successfully

1. Configure the environment variables:
Right click [My Computer] -> [Properties] -> [Advanced System Settings] -> [Environment Variables]:.
(Some systems have different ways to open environment variables. If they are different, you can search Baidu by yourself.)

2. Find the bin path of the previously installed software and copy it.
I changed the path to the E drive, and by default it searches on the C drive.

3. Find the path and configure the bin directory of MySQL:
Copy and paste the bin path in the order shown in the figure.

4. Then press win+r and enter cmd to open the command prompt;

If the software is installed to the C drive by default, directly enter mysql -u root -p, press Enter and enter the password 123456.

If you change the path, you need to switch the drive letter and then perform the above operations.
To switch drive letters, press “drive letter” + “:” and press Enter. As shown in the figure "E:".
