MySQL is a very popular open-source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) for storing, managing, controlling access, and retrieving structured data. The key characteristics of MySQL are that it is open source, relational, SQL-based (Structured Query Language), scalable, reliable, and versatile, enabling it to run on various systems, including desktops, servers, and clusters. Many popular applications like Facebook, WordPress, YouTube, or Netflix store their data in a MySQL database. In this tutorial, besides the installation process, you will learn how to manage the MySQL service, how to secure it, and some basic MySQL commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing MySQL is a straightforward process that may take up to 5 minutes. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2a9e3b209\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2a9e3b209\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Update-the-System\" >Update the System<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Install-MySQL-database-server\" >Install MySQL database server<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Secure-the-MySQL-database-service\" >Secure the MySQL database service<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Basic-MySQL-commands\" >Basic MySQL commands<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Wrap-Up\" >Wrap Up<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">server running Ubuntu 26.04<\/a> OS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User privileges: root or non-root user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-the-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update-the-System\"><\/span>Update the System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start installing MySQL, we assume you have a freshly installed Ubuntu 26.04 OS, so we will update the system packages to their latest versions. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt update -y &amp;&amp; apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-mysql-database-server\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-MySQL-database-server\"><\/span>Install MySQL database server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the MySQL packages are included in the latest Ubuntu 26.04 repository. Installing the MySQL server can be done with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install mysql-server<br><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, start and enable the MySQL service for automatic start after system boot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start mysql &amp;&amp; systemctl enable mysql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once started to check the status of the MySQL service, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl status mysql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@test.vps:~# sudo systemctl status mysql\n\u25cf mysql.service - MySQL Community Server\n     Loaded: loaded (\/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/mysql.service; enabled; preset: enabled)\n     Active: active (running) since Fri 2026-01-16 16:23:19 UTC; 3min 50s ago\n Invocation: a51f00e85d6243bfa247c26002089f4e\n   Main PID: 22204 (mysqld)\n     Status: \"Server is operational\"\n      Tasks: 34 (limit: 1857)\n     Memory: 480.2M (peak: 480.6M)\n        CPU: 3.540s\n     CGroup: \/system.slice\/mysql.service\n             \u2514\u250022204 \/usr\/sbin\/mysqld\n\nJan 16 16:23:17 test.vps systemd[1]: Starting mysql.service - MySQL Community Server...\nJan 16 16:23:19 test.vps systemd[1]: Started mysql.service - MySQL Community Server.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To restart the MySQL service, you can use the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl restart mysql<br><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Stopping the MySQL service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl stop mysql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the installed MySQL version, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mysql -V\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should use output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# mysql -V<br>mysql  Ver 8.4.8-0ubuntu1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))<br><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-secure-the-mysql-database-service\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secure-the-MySQL-database-service\"><\/span>Secure the MySQL database service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a fresh installation, it is highly recommended to run the included security script. This script helps improve the security of your MySQL server by setting the root password, removing anonymous users, and disabling remote root logins. To execute the script, use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a couple of questions and steps that you need to complete to fully secure the MySQL service. It should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: <strong>Y<\/strong>\n\nPlease enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG: <strong>2<\/strong>\n\nRemove anonymous users?

(Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : <strong>Y<\/strong>\n\nRemove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : <strong>Y<\/strong>\n\nReload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : <strong>Y<\/strong>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The final output should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"> - Dropping test database...\nSuccess.\n\n - Removing privileges on test database...\nSuccess.\n\nReloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes\nmade so far will take effect immediately.\n\nReload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y\nSuccess.\n\nAll done!\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-basic-mysql-commands\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic-MySQL-commands\"><\/span>Basic MySQL commands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of the most used basic MySQL commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1.
