2.3.3.3. Choosing an Install Type
There are three installation types available:
Typical,
Complete, and
Custom.
The Typical installation type
installs the MySQL server, the mysql
command-line client, and the command-line utilities. The
command-line clients and utilities include
mysqldump, myisamchk,
and several other tools to help you manage the MySQL server.
The Complete installation
type installs all components included in the installation
package. The full installation package includes components
such as the embedded server library, the benchmark suite,
support scripts, and documentation.
The Custom installation type
gives you complete control over which packages you wish to
install and the installation path that is used. See
Section 2.3.3.4, “The Custom Install Dialog”, for
more information on performing a custom install.
If you choose the Typical or
Complete installation types
and click the Next button, you advance
to the confirmation screen to verify your choices and begin
the installation. If you choose the
Custom installation type and
click the Next button, you advance to
the custom installation dialog, described in
Section 2.3.3.4, “The Custom Install Dialog”.
