When starting a new project, it is generally recommended to go on the most recent version of MySQL, to take advantage of the latest features but also (mainly?) to be sure to be up to date with the security patches.

This blog post centralizes the various URLs where to download the world’s most popular open source database.

MySQL Community Edition

If you’re looking for the latest binaries, client/server packages or source code, in 64/32 bits for Linux, Windows, Mac, Solaris, FreeBSD :

• All platforms : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
• MySQL on Windows (suite of tools) : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/

Linux Repository

On your Linux distros, the MySQL is often very old, (or worst you could download a totally different database).

The solution ? Install the MySQL APT/Yum/SUSE repository, which allows a simple and convenient way to install and update the latest GA, as well as the other products :

• Yum Repository : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/
• APT Repository : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/
• SUSE Repository : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/suse/

BTW please have a look on Ivan Ma‘s blog post : Installation of MySQL.
