官网地址：https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
我这里是RHEL6.5的系统，因此选择RedHat 6 x86,64bit操作系统---下载第一个RPM Bundle即可--mysql-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar。
目前MySQL8.0.11社区版提供了多种多样的安装方式，你也可以通过下载Linux Generic安装包mysql-8.0.11-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz来安装，这种安装方式无需考虑包兼容性，本文只描述rpm安装方式。
wget https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
如果上述链接失效，一般是因为官网已经更新了新版本，找到最新版本的版本号修改下载即可。
一、mysql-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar解压后有如下7个文件：
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28987588 Apr 9 01:06 mysql-community-client-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 672184 Apr 9 01:06 mysql-community-common-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4443296 Apr 9 01:06 mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2579460 Apr 9 01:06 mysql-community-libs-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1902676 Apr 9 01:06 mysql-community-libs-compat-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 395918848 Apr 9 01:07 mysql-community-server-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49092596 Apr 9 01:07 mysql-community-test-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
然后创建mysql用户：
useradd mysql
passwd mysql
二、安装顺序为：（强烈建议装之前先把之前的或自带的mysql相关包全部卸载，rpm -e --nodeps <包名>即可）
rpm -ivh mysql-community-common-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
mysql-community-libs-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
mysql-community-libs-compat-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
mysql-community-client-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
mysql-community-server-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
三、安装完毕后相关信息如下：
[root@python ~]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 8.0.11 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
[root@python ~]# ll /etc/init.d/mysqld
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7166 Apr 8 16:21 /etc/init.d/mysqld
[root@python ~]# ll /etc/my.cnf --配置文件位置
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1188 Apr 8 16:21 /etc/my.cnf
默认的datadir是在/var/lib/mysql/，可以通过修改my.cnf修改，启动命令如下：
[root@python ~]# service mysqld start
Initializing MySQL database: [ OK ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
四、使用默认密码登录MySQL
在安装完后，/var/log/mysqld.log里应该含有临时的root密码，可以直接登录，你可以将此root密码更改为自己更熟悉的密码。
mysql> alter user root@'localhost' identified by 'mysql';
ERROR 1819 (HY000): Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements
这里存在密码复杂度要求（在Windows平台使用msi安装mysql时，则有自主选择密码认证方式的步骤，可以比较方便的进行设置。）：
mysql> show variables like '%pass%';
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------+
| caching_sha2_password_auto_generate_rsa_keys | ON |
| caching_sha2_password_private_key_path | private_key.pem |
| caching_sha2_password_public_key_path | public_key.pem |
| default_password_lifetime | 0 |
| disconnect_on_expired_password | ON |
| mysql_native_password_proxy_users | OFF |
| password_history | 0 |
| password_reuse_interval | 0 |
| report_password | |
| sha256_password_auto_generate_rsa_keys | ON |
| sha256_password_private_key_path | private_key.pem |
| sha256_password_proxy_users | OFF |
| sha256_password_public_key_path | public_key.pem |
| validate_password.check_user_name | ON |
| validate_password.dictionary_file | |
| validate_password.length | 8 |
| validate_password.mixed_case_count | 1 |
| validate_password.number_count | 1 |
| validate_password.policy | MEDIUM |
| validate_password.special_char_count | 1 |
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------+
发现此值有3个，如下所示：
于是设置为0，然后将validate_password.length设置为4，表示最少需要4字符。之所以设置为4是因为这个参数的值不能小于如下公式的计算结果：
validate_password.number_count
+ validate_password.special_char_count
+ (2 * validate_password.mixed_case_count)
五、建一个测试用户leo，尝试远程连接下吧：
$ mysql -uleo -pmysql -h192.168.1.193
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded: /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
我这5.7的mysql工具都连不上，这就尴尬了，查看认证相关参数：
mysql> show variables like '%auth%';
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
| default_authentication_plugin | caching_sha2_password |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)
查看官网发现此值的取值如下：
官网还说此值影响create user不显式指定auth plugin时密码的默认加密算法，这意味着低版本的mysql工具基本连不上8.0，简单起见我们直接使用以前的加密算法。
mysql> select user,host,plugin from mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+
| user | host | plugin |
+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+
| leo | % | caching_sha2_password |
| mysql.infoschema | localhost | mysql_native_password |
| mysql.session | localhost | mysql_native_password |
| mysql.sys | localhost | mysql_native_password |
| root | localhost | caching_sha2_password |
+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+
在my.cnf里添加：default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password，然后service mysqld restart重启服务，以下只演示leo用户的创建：
mysql> drop user leo;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> create user leo identified by 'mysql';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> grant all on *.* to leo;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
$mysql -V
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.20, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
$ mysql -uleo -pmysql -h192.168.1.193
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

至此远程连接正常。
