Installation of MySQL 5.7 by package manager on Debian 8.0 « Jessy »
This chapter describes, as an example, the steps needed to install MySQL 5.7 on a Linux server. The first step consists in downloading the package adapted to your distribution version, here a Debian 8.0. Thereafter, you will replace w, x, y and z by the number of your current version (here mysql-aptconfig_0.5.3-1_all.deb) :
shell> wget http ://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-aptconfig_w.x.y-z_all.deb
To know the current version, visit http ://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/ apt/ and refer to the part of the page dedicated to downloads to find the archive’s complete name including the version number.
Adding the package :
shell> sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.5.3-1_all.deb

At this point, we have to update the repositories from the MySQL repository :
shell> apt-get update
It only remains to initiate the MySQL server installation :
shell> apt-get install mysql-server-5.7
The administrator password is asked :
The service is started by default, it is now operational :
shell> mysql -u root -p
Enter password : Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
