1、将下载的yum包上传到linux上：
[root@localhost ~]# lsmysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm
2、列出rpm包中文件（查看哪些内容）：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qpl mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community-source.repo/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community.repo3、安装rpm包（自动配置好yum源）：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%]1:mysql-community-release########################################### [100%]4、安装mysql：
[root@localhost ~]# yum install mysql-community-server.x86_64 -yLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, securityExisting lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 2460.Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysqlmysql-community-libs-5.6.29-2.el6.x86_64mysql-community-server-5.6.29-2.el6.x86_64mysql-community-client-5.6.29-2.el6.x86_64mysql-community-libs-compat-5.6.29-2.el6.x86_64mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarchmysql-community-common-5.6.29-2.el6.x86_64
6、接下来是初始化数据库：
[root@localhost ~]# mysql_install_db --datadir=/var/lib/mysql/Installing MySQL system tables...2016-03-15 11:00:50 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP wi
7、更改数据库目录权限并启动mysql：
[root@localhost ~]# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/[root@localhost ~]# ll -h /var/lib/mysql/总用量 109M-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 12M 3月 15 11:00 ibdata1-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 48M 3月 15 11:00 ib_logfile0-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 48M 3月 15 11:00 ib_logfile1drwx------. 2 mysql mysql 4.0K 3月 15 11:00 mysqldrwx------. 2 mysql mysql 4.0K 3月 15 11:00 performance_schema[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start正在启动 mysqld： [确定]
8、登录mysql并修改密码：
[root@localhost ~]# mysqlWelcome to the MySQL monitor.

二、RPM方式安装mysql：
1.将下载好的文件上传到Linux下：
[root@localhost Downloads]# ls
MySQL-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
2、解压tar文件：
[root@localhost Downloads]# tar -xf MySQL-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
[root@localhost Downloads]# ls
MySQL-client-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-devel-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-embedded-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-server-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-compat-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-test-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
3、安装rpm文件:
[root@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh MySQL-*
