MySQL Download Steps

For different operating systems, MySQL provides corresponding versions. Under the Windows operating system, the installation package of MySQL database is divided into two types: GUI installation and installation-free installation. The installation methods of these two installation packages are different, and the configuration methods are also different. The GUI installation package has a complete installation wizard, which is very convenient for installation and configuration. The installation-free installation package can be directly decompressed and used, but it is inconvenient to configure.

This section mainly introduces the download and installation process of MySQL. Users can download the corresponding server installation package for free from the MySQL official download page according to their operating system type.
