You may be asked to confirm the download and installation. If so, press y, and press Enter.
During the installation process, you will be asked to set a password for the MySQL root user. Make sure to choose a strong and secure password.
After installing MySQL, the MySQL service should start automatically. You can verify it with the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p
Then enter the password of the root user you set.
The above are the basic steps to install MySQL in Ubuntu. If you encounter any problems during the installation process, you may need to consult more specific documentation or refer to some online tutorials.
Note: Pay attention to your MySQL version during use, because there may be some differences between different versions of MySQL.
