installation configuration

1. Take a deep breath to get rid of distracting thoughts and throw away the irritability.

2. Double-click the installation package, and after several pop-up windows, you will come to the following interface. You can customize the installation according to your needs. I was lazy and chose Developer directly. The default is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0. Now that I think about it, I should only install Server and Workbench first, and then install other parts, and then I can change the installation path through Path Conflicts, but there is no big problem at present, and I will change it when I have time.
   
   If you customize it, you can choose what you need. The installation time is related to the size of the selected content.
   

3. The selected developer installs by default:
   
   Wait after Execute, and then Next after completion.
   
   Start configuration, Next.
   

4. Type and Networking
   
   is configured as shown in the figure below. If you install two MySQL ports, change the port. If there is a conflict, go to the service interface to see which conflicts and close it.
   
   Open the computer management method: "Start menu" right click, select services.
   
   

5. This is how I understand Authentication Method
   . Although third-party clients may not use this encryption method, since the built-in command line support is recommended, it is the general trend. It’s okay to choose the following, there will be no pitfalls. A PDF that only installs Sever, can change the path, and select the Legacy Authentication Method will be uploaded.
   

6. The Accounts and Roles
   user name is root by default, and next is after writing the password yourself. You can add users or not below.
   

7. See the picture below for Windows Service
   : This MySQL80 can be seen in the service of computer management
   
   later .

8. Apply Configuration
   Check the configuration, there is no problem Execute.
   
   After the completion of Next, if there is a problem, Back check, usually it is a port problem.
   
   Back to Product Configuration, next. Followed by connection related configuration.
   

9. Connect
   Directly on next and finish to enter the user name and password to connect here.
