MySQL的最新版是8.0.x版本，与5.x版本相比，不仅仅快了很多，而且还带来了大量的更新和更快的性能，在读写工作负载，IO密集型工作负载中有着更加强劲的性能，使用了utf-8mb4作为默认字符集，同时增强了安全性。
1、首先安装rpm, 一个相当于加速的东西。
# rpm -Uvh http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
如有错误，见本文下面评论栏
2、列出CentOS 7.6当前支持的MySQL数据库，如下面所示
# yum repolist all | grep mysql
mysql-connectors-community/x86_64 MySQL Connectors Community 启用: 118 mysql-connectors-community-source MySQL Connectors Community - Sour 禁用 mysql-tools-community/x86_64 MySQL Tools Community 启用: 95 mysql-tools-community-source MySQL Tools Community - Source 禁用 mysql-tools-preview/x86_64 MySQL Tools Preview 禁用 mysql-tools-preview-source MySQL Tools Preview - Source 禁用 mysql55-community/x86_64 MySQL 5.5 Community Server 禁用 mysql55-community-source MySQL 5.5 Community Server - Sour 禁用 mysql56-community/x86_64 MySQL 5.6 Community Server 禁用 mysql56-community-source MySQL 5.6 Community Server - Sour 禁用 mysql57-community/x86_64 MySQL 5.7 Community Server 启用: 364 mysql57-community-source MySQL 5.7 Community Server - Sour 禁用 mysql80-community/x86_64 MySQL 8.0 Community Server 禁用 mysql80-community-source MySQL 8.0 Community Server - Sour 禁用
从上面可以看出，会默认下载5.7版本的MySQL数据库，而8.0版本的默认是关闭的，先把5.7的禁用，启用MySQL 8.0数据库。
3、打开文件, 修改设置
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community.repo
输入命令后显示如下代码，每一个模块代表一个版本数据库。
其中可以看到5.7版本, enabled=1, 改为enabled=0, 禁用掉 另外可以看到8.0版本, enabled=0, 改为enabled=1, 开启

4、修改完之后查看可以用的MySQL版本
# yum repolist enabled | grep mysql
mysql-connectors-community/x86_64 MySQL Connectors Community 118 mysql-tools-community/x86_64 MySQL Tools Community 95 mysql80-community/x86_64 MySQL 8.0 Community Server 129
5、看到有MySQL 8.0版本之后，就可以正式开始安装MySQL了。
# yum install -y mysql-community-server
6、完成后启动MySQL
# systemctl start mysqld
7、查看MySQL启动状态
# systemctl status mysqld
8、 MySQL安装完成之后会在LOG文件( /var/log/mysqld.log)中生成一个默认的临时密码，可根据自己的实际情况修改(冒号后面为旧密码)。

9、登录MySQL并修改root密码
mysql -uroot -p
mysql>ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Linuxidc.com@123';
这里的Linuxidc.com@123 为新密码。
新密码强度默认为中等，需要同时有大小写字母、数字、特殊符号，只有修改成功后才能修改配置再设置更简单的密码，具体见 https://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2019-08/160317.htm 。
