×There is an APT repo for installing MySQL server and client.
Ensure wget is installed
sudo apt install wget
Download the repo package
wget -c https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
Install the repo package
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
Note, the installation will ask you to choose a MySQL server version and other components such as cluster, shared client libraries, or the MySQL Workbench.
update your repo library
sudo apt update
Install MySQL server
sudo apt install mysql-server
Secure MySQL
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Install MySQL Client
sudo apt install mysql-client

Question
I have debian 8.5. I attempted the steps below. Along the way, I was presented with a blue screen, where I was able to select mysql-8. As I progressed through the steps, I encountered a few complaints but nothing that looked to me show-stopping. Yet at the end of the process, mysql -v returned 5.5.62.
The steps aren’t complicated, so I’m wondering if the reason I didn’t get mysql 8 has to do with debian 8.5?
