#mysql #windows #sql #installation

Step 1

Go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ and download Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer [ 422 MB size ]

🚀 On next page website will ask to login just click on "No Thanks, Just Start my download"

Step 2

Execute the downloaded file.

You will be asked to choose a setup

Select Developer Setup, click on next

then some things like Extension for VSCode or if Python is not installed on your PC installer will ask you to download and install it manually but you can ignore that as they are not essential ( unless you are going to use python itself for development )

Step 3

The Installation

All products to be installed will be listed

click on execute to install all of them

click on next

Step 4

Product Configuration

click on next

ports will be available to configure in most of the cases leave it as it is, But if you need to change ports due to clashes between different services with same you probably understand what you are doing so I don't need to elaborate that here.

If you don't know what to do or feeling confused just click on next

here too click on next

Step 5

Set password for root user

you can also add other users here but if you are installing it first time you probably using it for learning purpose hence you don't need it, don't worry you can create users later too.
