MySQL 8.0.15 installation and configuration method graphic tutorial (Windows 10 X64)

What I have been learning recently involves knowledge of MySQL, so it is very necessary to install a MySQL. The installation process went smoothly by referring to other people’s tutorials. I encountered some problems and solved some of them. Here I will sort out the entire installation process for your reference.

The computer I have is a 64-bit Win10 Home Chinese version, and the MySQL installed is the 8.0.15 Community version downloaded from the official website. You can download the latest version from the official website.

Step 1: Install MySQL service

The downloaded file is a compressed file. Simply unzip the 'mysql-8.0.15-winx64' folder to the path you want to install it. I installed it directly on the C drive.

The file path after decompression is as follows:

Run the command line as an administrator in Windows

The command line tool started here starts with Windows->system32

Next, use the command line tool to enter the bin directory of the MySQL installation file you just unzipped

Then enter mysqld -install and wait for the service to be installed. Note that there is a space in the middle.

I have already installed it here, so it prompts that the service has been installed. If it has not been installed before, it will prompt 'Service successfully installed.'

Step 2: Configure MySQL

After entering the bin directory in the command line, first enter 'mysqld --initialize--insecure', press Enter and enter 'mysqld --initialize' again in the bin directory. At this time, a 'data' directory will be generated in the 'mysql-8.0.15-winx64' directory

The 'data' directory contains a '.err' file. The file name is your computer user name. You can see it by opening it with Notepad.

The red marked part is the initial password of MySQL, which will be used later.

Next, create a new '.ini' file in the 'mysql-8.0.15-winx64' directory, then enter the following code in it and save it:

Pay attention to the contents of basedir and datadirde.

Step 3: Start the MySQL service

Enter the login command 'mysql -u root -p', and then enter the previous password according to the prompts:

You can also change the password using the following command:

Use 'show databases;' to display the contents of the database. Be careful not to lose the semicolon.

Use the quit command to exit MySQL

Step 4: Configure environment variables

Right click 'This Computer' -> 'Properties' -> 'Advanced System Settings' -> 'Environment Variables'

Add 'C:\mysql-8.0.15-winx64\bin\' to the 'Path' path of 'User variables' and save it. In this way, you can start MySQL directly from the command line tool in the future without entering the 'bin' directory first.
