Requirements

• Operating System: MySQL is compatible with various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and Unix-like systems.
• Hardware Requirements: The hardware requirements depend on the size and complexity of your database. However, in general, a standard computer with a minimum of 2GB RAM and a few gigabytes of free disk space should be sufficient for basic usage.
• Software Dependencies: MySQL may have certain software dependencies based on your operating system. For example, on Windows, you may need to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages. It's important to check the MySQL documentation for specific dependencies based on your platform.
• Installation Package: You can download the MySQL installation package from the official MySQL website (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/). Choose the appropriate version for your operating system and follow the installation instructions provided.
• Access Privileges: During the installation process, you may be prompted to set a root password for the MySQL server. Make sure to choose a strong password and keep it secure, as the root user has full administrative access to the database.
