在centos使用rpm包的方式安装mysql，对于centos官方实际推荐使用yum进行安装，下载安装的方式主要用于内网服务器不能连接外网yum源的情况。

首先根据centos版本在mysql的官网下载rpm安装包，我的centos版本为6.6，下载的安装包为”MySQL-5.6.26-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar”

进行安装

• 首先进行解压

tar -xvf MySQL-5.6.26-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar

• 然后先安装历史库包

sudo rpm -i MySQL-shared-compat-5.6.26-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

• 卸载操作系统中原有的mysql包

sudo yum remove mysql-libs

• 安装mysql服务端，实际的数据库服务进程

rpm -i MySQL-server-5.6.26-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

• 安装mysql客户端，用于连接数据库

sudo rpm -i MySQL-client-5.6.26-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

• 安装之后的文件目录

    /usr/bin	Client programs and scripts
    /usr/sbin	The mysqld server
    /var/lib/mysql	Log files, databases
    /usr/share/info	MySQL manual in Info format
    /usr/share/man	Unix manual pages
    /usr/include/mysql	Include (header) files
    /usr/lib/mysql	Libraries
    /usr/share/mysql	Miscellaneous support files, including error messages, character set files, sample configuration files, SQL for database installation
    /usr/share/sql-bench	Benchmarks

启动使用

• 安装过程中，会自动添加一个mysql用户和组，所以可以用这个用户或者root来启动mysql服务。

• 使用rpm包安装默认添加了系统自动启动，可以使用service mysql stop从系统级别来停止mysql服务。

• 一般情况下，首次登陆时可以通过空密码登陆，然后登陆数据库之后修改密码，但是我在安装完之后重启了系统，再次登陆时就不能通过空密码进行登陆了。

最后使用下面的方式更改了密码。

[root@centos1 ~]# service mysql stop
