版本信息

ubuntu版本：16.04.1
mysql-server版本：5.7.23

安装

先查看一下apt可获取的mysql版本

ubuntu@VM-0-4-ubuntu:~$ apt search mysql

看到结果里面有这两个package，我们安装mysql-server就可以了，可以看到提供的mysql-server是5.7.23的。

mysql-client/xenial-security,xenial-security,xenial-updates,xenial-updates 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 all
  MySQL database client (metapackage depending on the latest version)
mysql-server/xenial-security,xenial-security,xenial-updates,xenial-updates 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 all
  MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)

安装apt提供的mysql

sudo apt install mysql-server

开始安装，直接选Y就可以

安装的过程中会让你设置root用户的密码,设置一下，一会登录mysql会用到


检测一下是否安装成功

sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql

出现以下内容就是安装成功了

tcp        0      0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:*                     LISTEN      26647/mysqld

修改字符集

使用root用户和刚设置的密码登录mysql

mysql -u root -p

先看下未修改前的字符集

mysql> show variables like '%char%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8                       |
| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | latin1                     |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | latin1                     |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+

我们通过修改mysql的配置文件my.cnf（是mysql.conf的链接文件，直接改mysql.conf也行，没区别）来修改字符集。
配置文件的位置在/etc/mysql/my.cnf，用vim修改的时候前面要加sudo，因为非root用户没有这个文件的写权限。

sudo vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf

未修改前的配置文件应该长这个样子。

#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html
#
# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
#   The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.
#
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

在后面添加以下信息，设置mysql的字符集。

#[client]
#default-character-set=utf8
#影响系统变量character_set_client和character_set_connectioncharacter_set_results，所以[client]那部分设置不用添加
[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
#影响系统变量character_set_server和character_set_database，因为这两个系统变量默认是latin1，所以要添加

修改保存后重启mysql，记得加sudo，因为非root用户没有重启的权限。

sudo service mysql restart

然后再看下数据库的字符集，全改成了utf8。

mysql> show variables like '%char%';

| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
