    The MySQL version shipped with CentOS 6 is very old. We recommend to install the most recent stable version following the [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-yum-repo-quick-guide/en/ MySQL yum repo quick guide]. If you prefer to stick to the old version, install required packages as root and activate the server:
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|
yum install mysql-devel mysql-server
chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
service mysqld start
|lang=bash}}
Afterwards, harden your MySQL installation using the <tt>mysql_secure_installation</tt> command as root.
