I need to upgrade mysql 5.0 to mysql 5.6 on Linux Server . What are the commands or what are the steps should I follow . I am new to mySQL and Linux. I have gone through the steps to follow but I could not get any complete idea like how to get the software copied to Linux and what are the mysql commands on Linux to upgrade the existing mysql.
Check the Official Documentation on MySql for the instructions to Upgrade your MySql server.
As #Michael said, It heavily depends on your Linux distro. Generally you can upgrade using Yum Repository/Apt Repository via Terminal. You may refer to the documentation for more information.

I need to upgrade/move a 5.7 version of mysql on ubuntu 18.04 so that it's still 5.7 but does not use the MariaDB engine. Everything I can find online talks about moving from Mysql to MariaDB, not the other way around. I'm not even sure there is a way to do this.
I'm stuck with having to install a webapp that uses MySQL but cannot use MariaDB. The creators of the app have assured the user community that it's "an easy upgrade" but then provide no details.
Any help is appreciated.
i'm using xampp 7.1.8-0 on my "manjaro linux" machine, mysql (innodb) version is 5.6.36-82.1 and l have problems with this version and wanna upgrade to 5.7 version so any suggesions please?!
you can try to reintall higher version on xampp , that would be much easier if package upgrade is not an option,here .
also i found some packages about replacing mysql with MariaDB the Mysql sibling, here.
I am using Ubuntu so i think manual package upgrade should work but if not try to upgrade th xampp higher version to be safe.
update
this is a link to a question about update mysql under linux, Here.
actually i found couple of links about update mysql under xampp but on windows system so i think it is irrelevant to the topic.
I have mysql server on Linux Redhat 6.4 and I want to upgrade it to mysql server 5.6.28. I googled number of sites, all I am getting is upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 or 5.6 to 5.7.
Note: There is no internet available on redhat but I can transfer rpm.
Please let me know how I can upgrade the patch.
Got no reply but did it somehow.
Easy way-
download required client, server and share rpm file from mysql's download page and use rpm upgrade(-Uvh) option.
That's it.
I just did a clean install of CentOS Linux. The first thing I did after installing CentOS was to download MySQL and try to install the -server rpm file. But the installation fails with a lot of messages stating conflicts with MariaDB packages which seem to be redundant to those in MySQL. I want to use MySQL as my database.
Are there any reasons why I should not just delete mariadb, so that the conflicts can be resolved? If mariadb performs some important functions in CentOS, I do not want to end up having my system crash.
You could use MariaDB as mysql version 5.5 for it is just another MYSQL branch...
In Centos 7, it is a alternative project of oracle mysql. It contains all mysql functions and optimize structures, data processing, Algorithm etc..
you could even login the server with a "mysql" command.
you don't need to pay attentions on the name, it is no problem to your former mysql projects.
ps:
I don't think that a linux system will have a "clean", "pure" os environment. Linux is a free and open source system which means you could install and remove every thing with no problem.
To have MySQL database functionality you can install either the MySQL packages or the MariaDB packages. MariaDB is a fork originating from the same MySQL code base. For compatibility see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/
Yes, you can remove MariaDB packages and replace them by MySQL packages.
My application requirement of mysql version is more than 5.5.14 . I had installed mysql 5.5.12 successfully but for later version of mysql 5.5.14 , I could not find any thing best to which I can install mysql 5.5.14 or later version simply. Please tell me the simple way to download and install mysql 5.5.14 or any later version to which I can installed in my ubuntu 10.04 environment .
Please help me out.
Thanks

Try MySQL Sandbox. You can use it to install from MySQL binary distributions, and install multiple versions side by side.
