Once you’ve installed MySQL (from either a binary or source distribution), you need to initialise the grant tables, start the server, and make sure that the server works okay. You may also wish to arrange for the server to be started and stopped automatically when your system starts up and shuts down.Normally you install the grant tables and start the server like this for installation from a source distribution:shell> ./scripts/mysql_install_dbshell> cd mysql_installation_directoryshell> ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &For a binary distribution (not RPM or pkg packages), do this:shell> cd mysql_installation_directoryshell> ./bin/mysql_install_db
