Check if mySql is installed on server
Is there a way to determine if mySql has been installed on a Linux server?
Solution 1:
Assuming that you are looking for a mysql binary installed with a typical package, run the command:
mysql
or
mysql --version
If it comes back with a response, it is installed, if it says "command not found" then it is not installed.
Solution 2:
What version of linux?
Debian dpkg -l 'mysql*'
