Detailed explanation of the standard MySQL (x64) Windows version installation process

MySQL x64 does not provide an installer, does not provide an installer, does not provide an installer...

It’s a bit slow and not simple enough to check English documents every time.

There is no data directory when you unzip the 64-bit zip package after downloading 5.7.6.

Enter the unzipped bin directory: (I used powershell)

Initialize the data directory (a password will be randomly assigned, write it down)

.\mysqld --initialize --console

Installation service (automatically started service, only installed, not started)

.\mysqld --install
--install-manual is manual startup, --remove is uninstall service

start up

net start mysql

Initialize security settings

.\mysql_secure_installation.exe

They are old password, new password, confirm new password, delete anonymous account, disable root remote access, delete test database, and update permission table.

Client login

./mysql -u root -p

Enter new password
