MySQL 5.7.17 free installation version configuration method graphic tutorial (windows10)

1. Overview

I searched a lot online and found that many of them were not for Linux systems and were inconsistent with the current new versions. I did a small project myself and practiced it myself, and I would like to share it with everyone for reference.

MySQL version: mysql-5.7.17

Download method:

1. MySQL official website: https://www.mysql.com/downloads/
2. Download method:

a. Select the corresponding module:

b. Select the corresponding version (I choose Windows here):

c. Select the 32-bit or 64-bit version to download:

d. Click Download, it will ask you to log in or register, you can skip this:

2. MySQL installation and configuration

1. Unzip the downloaded .zip file and put it where you want to install it . The location is arbitrary.

Open the folder, create a new my.ini file, and enter:

[mysql]
# Set the default character set of the mysql client to default-character-set=utf8 
[mysqld]
#Set port 3306 port = 3306 
# Set the installation directory of MySQL basedir=D:\mysql\mysql-5.7.17-winx64 //your own path # Set the storage directory of MySQL database datadatadir=D:\mysql\mysql-5.7.17-winx64\data //your own path # Allow the maximum number of connections max_connections=200
# The default character set used by the server is the 8-bit latin1 character set character-set-server=utf8
# The default storage engine that will be used when creating a new table default-storage-engine=INNODB

Then save it in ANSI format.

2. Open the Windows environment variable settings , put the full path of the mysql bin directory in the Path variable of the environment variable, and then add an English semicolon (;) after the path to save it.
For example, D:/mysql/mysql-5.7.11-winx64/bin;

3. Install MySQL service: mysqld –install

Start: net start MySQL
Stop: net stop MySQL
Uninstall: sc delete MySQL,mysqld -remove
The command line window must be opened in administrator mode
a. Install the service: mysqld –install.
b. Start the service net start MySQL
(There may be a problem. The MySQL service is starting. The MSQL service could not be started. The service did not report any errors. Please type NET HELPMSG 3534 for more help.
Delete the data folder and use mysqld –initialize to initialize the data directory.

4. After successfully entering the service, use
mysql -u root -p Enter
Enter the password (in the file with the suffix .err in the data folder)
Press Enter after inputting.
Note: The old version initially has no password and you can log in successfully by simply pressing Enter. In order to enhance security, the new version will generate a random password.

5. Change password

There are three ways to do this:

①Use the SET PASSWORD command: First log in to MySQL.
Format: mysql> set password for username@localhost = password('new password');
Example: mysql> set password for root@localhost = password('123');
(You can directly use mysql> set password = password('123');)

②Use mysqladmin (used when not logged in to MySQL)
Format: mysqladmin -u username -p old password password new password Example: mysqladmin -uroot -p123456 password 123

③Use UPDATE to directly edit the user table. First log in to MySQL.

mysql> use mysql; 
mysql> update user set password=password('123') where user='root' and host='localhost'; 
mysql> flush privileges;
