After installation, the server needs to be enabled and started. As root run:

<!--'''Careful''': This enables additional repositories. If you wish, you may disable these repositories to avoid undesired packages and versions to be pulled in. You can do this by setting <code>enabled=0</code> for all repos in the files <tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community*.repo</tt>.-->
Install required packages as root and activate the server:

yum install mysql-devel mysql-server
chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
service mysqld start
service mysqld start

Afterwards, harden your MySQL installation using the <tt>mysql_secure_installation</tt> command as root after getting the initial <tt>root</tt> password via <tt>grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log</tt>.
