MySQL decompression version is simple to install, relatively few steps. Let's take a look at how to install the decompression class MySQL on the Windows operating system.
1. Download the decompression version of MySQL, address: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/
2. Unzip to a local directory, for example, I extracted to the E:\mySoftWare\mysql directory
I have modified the same as just after the decompression will be different, do not care first.
3. Configure Environment variables:
Right-click My Computer, Properties----Change settings, advanced-environment variable--system variable->path, double-clicking the Path at the end of the append; MySQL installation directory, such as; E:\mySoftWare\mysql\bin
4. Create the My.ini file in the MySQL extract directory, copy the contents of the My-default.ini to My.ini, and then modify the following
Basedir,datadir,port in front of the # must be removed.
5. Run cmd as administrator (be sure to run as administrator, or not enough permissions), then enter the MySQL directory, such as: Enter the CD E:\mySoftWare\mysql\bin carriage return, and then enter the E return.
Enter Mysqld-install after entering (if run without administrator, there will be an error due to insufficient permissions: Install/remove of the Service denied!)
After the installation is successful, start the service and continue typing in cmd: net start MySQL
6. After the service started successfully, you can log in, run cmd, enter mysql-u root-p (no password for the first login, press ENTER directly), Login success!
The password must be changed after success:
Set Password =password (' your password ');
Flush privileges;
7. Connect MySQL with Navicat
