Hi there @prabars,
If you are not using the current MySQL instance, you can follow the steps from this tutorial here on how to install the latest MySQL version on Ubuntu:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-latest-mysql-on-ubuntu-18-04
However, if you are using the MySQL 5 instance already, you need to be careful and follow the instructions from the official MySQL documentation on how to upgrade from MySQL 5 to MySQL 8:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/upgrading-what-is-upgraded.html
NOTE: I would also strongly recommend taking a snapshot of your Droplet before proceeding with the upgrade in case that anything goes wrong.
Regards, Bobby
