MySQL does not come by default with Amazon Linux 2023.
I ran into some challenges installing it, and had to consult multiple blogs for success.
Follow these steps to install it.
- Download the RPM file
sudo wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-el9-1.noarch.rpm
- Install RPM file
sudo dnf install mysql80-community-release-el9-1.noarch.rpm -y
- You need the public key of mysql to install the software.
sudo rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2023
- If you need to install mysql client:
sudo dnf install mysql-community-client -y
If you need server:
sudo dnf install mysql-community-server -y
