MySQL install script - mysql

is there a way to automate to install MySQL without having to use the wizard to specify root password, etc. Basically, I need to install MySQL as simple as possible for the end user.
Thanks

I'm going to assume you mean windows. The Mysql MSI installer apparently has a quiet mode:

I would recommend Wampserver.
It is really easy to manage mysql server through wampserver interface and it comes with phpmyadmin.

How to use mysql with conda?

I am learning sql and for that I needed to download MySQL on my Ubunutu 20.04. I have some issues with my kernels and therefore can't use sudo. Therefore I created a virtualenv using conda and downloaded MySQL using conda install -c anaconda mysql. Now I need to do setup like setting password for the MySQL and create a database in which I can make tables and learn how to write queries. Can anyone please suggest a way to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
If you just want to use mysql-client in a restricted environment where don't have root access for installing packages; you can simply grab the static binary of mysql (around 4MB) and use it directly from terminal of restricted machine.

MySQL Server start permission denied

I am a a newbie to database programming and I want to try out MySQL.
I just installed MySQL from the official website, I am running mac 10.8.2.
Anyways, whenever I try to run a simple command like $>mysql.server start
it says Permission denied.
I am able to open it through sudo but I would love to get this fixed as this is annoying me, that it wont work properly. I have been searching for the last two hours without finding a fix, so I was hoping anyone could give me a helping hand.
The easiest way is to install the MySQL Startup Item. Then you get a Preference pane for MySQL.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/macosx-installation-startupitem.html for full instructions.
Re your comment:
It's often required for services like mysql.server need to run as a uid other than your user login. For instance, the MySQL data directory may only be writeable by the mysql uid. So starting such a service must be done from a user that can change the uid of the process. The root uid can do that, so it's necessary to use sudo to launch service processes like mysql.server.
TL;DR: YOU HAVE TO USE SUDO.
If you a absolute newbie to MYSQL and you just want to use the MYSQL server to test your code on you local MAC I would advice you to take a look at XAMPP / MAMP. Xampp offers a complete out of the box install for everything you need for a development servers (Apache server, MySQL, PHP, etc). Note, that I XAMPP / MAMP is not suitable for production server setting.
I personally use the XAMPP Windows version. I haven't tried MAMP but I have come across it many times . The XAMPP for Mac version seem not to have been update for a while so I suggest you give MAMP a try.
You could of course try to get your current install to work but that might require some work. Also with regard to firewall / security issues. With the out of the box version you will have to do a lot less. Why reinvent the wheel if you can easily install a out of the box version.

Thx for your help ;)
Try WAMP Server http://www.wampserver.com/en/ fastest easiest way to setup a MySQL database I have ever found.
I recommend you use USBWebserver. It comes with PhpMyAdmin that uses MySQL. Just search for it

Easiest way to copy a mysql database from windows to linux?

I dont have perl install on windows. I would like to copy the entire testdb to testdb on my linux VM. What is the easiest way to do that? I can run code on my windows machine to connect to both DB and do sql operations. I am using C#.NET so if i need to write code and its simple then i'm open to that.
Use mysqldump
If you use PHPMyAdmin it has an export feature which makes it very easy to transfer.
MYSQL WorkBench 5.2.22 will allow you to do this very easily.
