Once the installation is completed, the MySQL service will start automatically. To check whether the MySQL server is running, type:

# sudo systemctl status mysql

Configure the Port and binding address as shown below using sudo nano command
# sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Set the bind address as you wish for example 0.0.0.0 sets it to any IP address across the globe (Strongly not recommended)
By default it comes as 
bind-address 127.0.0.1  ( this a security feature in MySQL 5.7 and above )

Run the security script: for proper configurations 
# sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts and configure you installation to the best of your interests

In order to use a password to connect to MySQL as root, you will need to switch its authentication method from auth_socket to mysql_native_password.
To do this, open up the MySQL prompt from your terminal:

# sudo mysql

Next, check which authentication method each of your MySQL user accounts use with the following command:

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;

Output should look like below 
+------------------+------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| user | authentication_string        | plugin          |                 host |
+------------------+------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| root |                                          | auth_socket           | localhost |

Set the password to "mysql"  Please note that this is Bad for security, but just to get all installed and instructions on how to change it will be provided later in this guide)

Setting password use the command below

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mysql'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Comfirm by runnig script below 

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
Output should look like below 
+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------+-----------+
| user | authentication_string                                                        | plugin                             | host      |
+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------+-----------+
| root | *3636DACC8616D997782ADD0839F92C1571D6D78F | mysql_native_password | localhost |

 
Eexit sudo mysql and restart mysql service 
exit 
# sudo service mysql restart

On completion of java installation,one could verify the installed version by & should be 5.7 or above

# mysql --version

set password to: xyz123

(Bad for security, but just to get all installed and instructions on how to change it will be provided later in this guide)
