具体步骤如下：
卸载系统自带的MySQL操作如下
<span style="font-size:14px;">[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
mysql-libs-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.x86_64
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -e --nodeps mysql-libs-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.x86_64
[root@localhost ~]# whereis mysql
mysql: /usr/lib64/mysql /usr/share/mysql
[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /usr/lib64/mysql
[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /usr/share/mysql
</span>
使用rpm命令安装MySQL数据库服务端
<span style="font-size:14px;">[root@localhost app]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.6.21-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64.rpm

A RANDOM PASSWORD HAS BEEN SET FOR THE MySQL root USER !
You will find that password in '/root/.mysql_secret'.
You must change that password on your first connect,
no other statement but 'SET PASSWORD' will be accepted.
See the manual for the semantics of the 'password expired' flag.
Also, the account for the anonymous user has been removed.
In addition, you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also give you the option of removing the test database.
This is strongly recommended for production servers.
See the manual for more instructions.
Please report any problems at http://bugs.mysql.com/

New default config file was created as /usr/my.cnf and
will be used by default by the server when you start it.

这步要注意：数据库的版本与操作系统要一直，我的操作系统是64位所有数据库也必须是64位的。
使用rpm命令安装MySQL数据库客户端
安装完成之后，MySQL的默认数据文件存储在/var/lib/mysql下面，我们依据我们的要求将其存储在/usr/local/mysql_data下。<span style="font-size:14px;">[root@localhost app]# rpm -ivh MySQL-client-5.6.21-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64.rpm

登陆MySQL
MySQL登录的命令是mysql， mysql 的使用语法如下： mysql [-u username] [-h host] [-p[password]] [dbname] username 与 password 分别是 MySQL用户名与密码，mysql的初始管理帐号是root，没有密码，注意：这个root用户不是Linux的系统用户。MySQL默认用户是 root，由于初始没有密码，第一次进时只需键入mysql即可。<span style="font-size:14px;">[root@localhost ~]# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.0.16-standard
Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer.
mysql></span>
出现了“mysql>”提示符，恭喜你，安装成功!
增加了密码后的登录格式如下：
mysql -u root -p
Enter password: (输入密码)
其中-u后跟的是用户名，-p要求输入密码，回车后在输入密码处输入密码。
可是我输入mysql却出错了：
初始密码是空的，我输入的也是空的还是错误!
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
MySQL安装解决方法：重改密码
<span style="font-size:14px;">[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysql stop 这里也可以键入命令：service mysql stop
[root@localhost ~]# mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpassword') where USER='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart 这里也可以键入命令：service mysql restart
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
mysql>搞定!</span>
开启mysql的远程访问权限
默认mysql的用户是没有远程访问的权限的，因此当程序跟数据库不在同一台服务器上时，我们需要开启mysql的远程访问权限。
主流的有两种方法，改表法和授权法。
相对而言，改表法比较容易一点，个人也是比较倾向于使用这种方法，因此，这里只贴出改表法
登陆mysql
<span style="font-size:14px;">mysql -u root -p</span>
修改mysql库的user表，将host项，从localhost改为%。%这里表示的是允许任意host访问，如果只允许某一个ip访问，则可改为相应的ip，比如可以将localhost改为192.168.1.123，这表示只允许局域网的192.168.1.123这个ip远程访问mysql。
<span style="font-size:14px;">mysql> use mysql; 这个命令会报错，解决方法为：输入命令SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('123456');重新设置一次MySQL登陆密码
mysql> update user set host = '%' where user = 'root';
mysql> select host, user from user;
mysql> flush privileges;</span>
防火墙开放3306端口
打开防火墙配置文件
<span style="font-size:14px;">vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables</span>
增加下面一行
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
重启防火墙
<span style="font-size:14px;">service iptables restart</span>
注意：增加的开放3306端口的语句一定要在icmp-host-prohibited之前
附：个人配置
<span style="font-size:14px;"># Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter

用Navicat Premium工具链接Linux中的MySQL
找到并修改my.cnf文件。在不同的Linux系统下，my.cnf放在不同的位置。这里以Ubuntu Server做示例，其他系统请根据情况自行找到my.cnf的路径。一般只会存放在/etc/my.cnf或者/etc/mysql/my.cnf下。而在我这里的Linux系统下是在/usr/share/mysql这个目录中的my-default.cnf，你可以将它复制并且改名到其他目录中。用vim打开my.cnf文件，然后找到[mysqld]部分的参数，在配置后面建立一个新行，添加下面这个参数：
skip-name-resolve
保存文件并重启MySQL：
<span style="font-size:14px;">service mysql restart</span>
