Unable to install mysql 5.6 in ubuntu 12.04

I download mysql-5.6.16-debian6.0-x86_64.deb from official site.
Install using dpkg -i mysql-5.6.16-debian6.0-x86_64.deb
It does create file in /opt/mysql/server-5.6/.

root@ubuntu:~# cd /var/lib/mysql/
bash: cd: /var/lib/mysql/: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~$ service mysql start
mysql: unrecognized service
root@ubuntu:~$ chown -R mysql /opt/mysql/server-5.6/
chown: invalid user: mysql
root@ubuntu:~$ chgrp -R mysql /opt/mysql/server-5.6/
chgrp: invalid group: mysql

I don't know how to deal with this...

root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /opt/mysql/server-5.6/

You don't have to do that:

easily you can install mysql:

server:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

client only

sudo apt-get install mysql-client

If you want newer versions than default in Ubuntu

for version 5.5;

sudo  apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/mysql-5.5

for version 5.6;

sudo  apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/mysql-5.6

After adding your needed version, update sources lis:

sudo apt-get update

now install mysql

server:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

client only

sudo apt-get install mysql-client

According to the official MySql Site for community Server Installation, you can follow the guide described here.

This guide helps you configure an apt repository for MySQL products according to your OS Version and MySQL Product (server, connectors) version. In brief for Ubuntu 12.04 and MySQL Server 5.6 you follow the step below.

1. Download the APT package, in our case mysql-apt-config_0.3.5-1ubuntu12.04_all.deb
2. Run it using # dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.3.5-1ubuntu12.04_all.deb
3. Update APT source list # apt-get update
4. Install as usual # apt-get install mysql-server
