Installing MYSQL on RedHat Enterprise Linux RHEL 6.1

Get MySQL here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads


Select TAR installation if available, get the link of TAR and run
wget [link]

Uncompress
 tar -xvf MySQL-5.5.13-1.rhel5.x86_64.tar


Install server:
rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-5.5.13-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Install client:
rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-5.5.13-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm


Note this warning:
----------------------
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h ip-10-34-70-147 password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

-----------------------------------

Start MySQL:
service mysql start
