How to find whether MySQL is installed in Red Hat?

Type mysql --version to see if it is installed.

To find location use find -name mysql.

If you're looking for the RPM.

rpm -qa | grep MySQL

Most of it's data is stored in /var/lib/mysql so that's another good place to look.

If it is installed

which mysql

will give you the location of the binary.

You could also do an

updatedb

and a

locate mysql

to find any mysql files.

linux redhat status

yum list installed | grep mysql

Then if it's not installed you can do (as root)

yum install mysql -y
