## Step 3: MySQL 5.6
* If you will be using **Amazon RDS** or any separate database server, skip the whole MySQL Section. This is only required when you want to use a "localhost" MySQL on your server.

### Installation
* `wget -O mysql.rpm http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm/from/http://repo.mysql.com/`
* `yum -y localinstall mysql.rpm`
* `yum -y install mysql-community-server`
* `service mysqld start`
* `chkconfig mysqld on`
* `mysql_secure_installation`
* MySQL will ask for root password. By default, its blank. Press enter.
* MySQL will ask to set root password, answer `Y`.
* Input the new root password
* MySQL will ask to remove anonymous users, answer `Y`.
* MySQL will ask to disallow root login remotely, answer `Y`.
* MySQL will ask to remove test database, answer `Y`.
* MySQL will ask to reload privileges, answer `Y`.
* `mysql -u root -p` Test Root Login to **MySQL Console**
*  At this point you will need to enter your password
* If the console prefix changed to `mysql>`, it was successful
* Type `exit` to go back to **Linux command line**

### Setup phpMyAdmin
* `cd /var/www/html`
* `wget -O pma.zip http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/4.3.3/phpMyAdmin-4.3.3-english.zip`
* `unzip pma.zip`
* `mv phpMyAdmin-4.3.3-english dba`
* `sudo rm pma.zip`
* **phpMyAdmin** now accessible on `http://your_server/dba`
