Dear Zayyad, If you're familiar with docker and you have it installed, you can do the following:
1. Create a data folder as root sudo mkdir -p /opt/mysql_data 2. Start docker mysql 5.6 with above folder mounted as data directory, with port 3306 forwarded sudo docker run -p 3306:3306 -v /opt/mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql mysql:5.6 Now your docker mysql 5.6 instance will work just like a local instance. In fact you only need step 1 to ensure data persistence, otherwise mysql 5.6 will run but the data store will be inside the container and get flushed when the container dies. -- Best Regards, Terence Monteiro, Mob: +91 96633 13728 www.sanjosesolutions.in <http://www.sanjosesolutions.in> "Terroy", 67, 10th Cross,, Lingarajpuram, Bangalore - 84.
