Detailed installation process of mysql5.7.21 under win10

This article shares the installation of MySQL 5.7.21 and the problems encountered during the installation process for your reference. The specific content is as follows

1. I downloaded mysql-5.7.21-winx64, which is a free installation version, but I need to configure the my.ini file and create a new data folder, which I will talk about later.
Download

2. After downloading, unzip the file and place the unzipped folder where you want. Mine is: G:\softwareSetUp\mysql\mysql-5.7.21-winx64

3. Configure the path environment variable, including two paths: G:\softwareSetUp\mysql\mysql-5.7.21-winx64\bin;
C:\Windows\System32
If you do not configure C:\Windows\System32, you will be prompted when you run net start mysql that "net" is not recognized as an internal or external command.

4. Create a new my.ini text under mysql-5.7.21-winx64. The text content is as follows:

After saving, create a new data folder in the same directory

5. Run the command prompt as an administrator and execute mysqld install

6. Enter G:\softwareSetUp\mysql\mysql-5.7.21-winx64\bin
Run mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
There will be no prompt at the end of the run. Check whether the directories under the my.ini and data folders are correct.

7. Run net start mysql to start the MySQL service. It will prompt that the service is started successfully.

8. Run mysql -u root –p to log in to MySQL.

Problem encountered: The environment variable C:\Windows\System32 is not configured, and running net start mysql prompts "net" is not recognized as an internal or external command.
