deb package that handles configuring and installing the official MySQL software repositories. Step 1 - Adding the MySQL Software Repository You can do this by following our initial server setup guide for Debian 10. Prerequisitesīefore starting this tutorial, you will need one Debian 10 server that has a non- root user with sudo privileges and a firewall configured. In this tutorial, you will install the latest version of MySQL by adding this repository, install the MySQL software itself, secure the install, and test that MySQL is running and responding to commands. While MariaDB works well in most cases, if you need features found only in Oracle’s MySQL, you can install and use packages from a repository maintained by the MySQL developers. In Debian 10, MariaDB, a community fork of the MySQL project, is packaged as the default MySQL variant. MySQL is the M in the LAMP stack, a commonly used set of open source software that also includes Linux, the Apache web server, and the PHP programming language.

Finally, developers and more experienced users may blaze the trail, testing all the latest developments in Debian Unstable right out of the gate, at the risk of suffering the headaches and bugs inherent in any new version of a program.MySQL is a prominent open-source database management system used to store and retrieve data for a wide variety of popular applications. End users, more interested in the latest versions of GNOME or KDE Plasma than in rock-solid stability, will find Debian Testing to be a good compromise between a lack of serious problems and relatively up-to-date software. The system administrators, concerned above all about the stability of their servers, don't need the latest and greatest version of GNOME they can choose Debian Stable, and they will be satisfied. Furthermore, the majority of users are satisfied using one of the three distributions simultaneously available. This contributes, over all, to its reputation for quality. This journey, not without its difficulties, explains the significant delays separating the Debian Stable releases. At the end of the journey, our hypothetical package is now included in the stable distribution.
