How to Install MySQL on Windows

Download the MySQL Installer from dev.mysql.com.

The two download options are a web-community version and a full version.

The web-community version will only download the server, by default, but you can select other applications (like Workbench) as desired.

The full installer will download the server and all the recommended additional applications.

(You’ll also be asked to create a user account, but you skip this part by scrolling down to the bottom and clicking "No thanks, just start my download".)

Run the installer that you downloaded

Determine which setup type you would like to use for the installation

  • Developer Default: this is the full installation of MySQL Server and the other tools needed for development. If you are building your database from the ground up or will be managing the data directly in the database, you’ll want to use this setup type.
  • Server Only: if you only need MySQL Server installed for use with a CMS or other application and will not be managing the database directly, you can install just the server (you can always install additional tools later).
  • Custom: this setup type will allow you to customize every part of the installation from the server version to whichever additional tools you select.
Install the server instance and whichever additional products you selected. Then begin the configuration process by selecting the availability level (most users will use the default, standalone version).

Complete the configuration process by following the on-screen instructions. You’ll want to make sure to install MySQL as a Service so that Windows can automatically start the service after a reboot or can restart the service if it fails. For additional, step-by-step instructions, see MySQL Server Configuration with MySQL Installer.



And finally MySQL installed into your system.
