Fresh Install Issue

[mw72]

Dear All,

As a Linux novice i'd appreciate some help.

This is the first time I have tried to install Zabbix from scratch.
I have extremely minimal Linux skills.

I have configured a Centos 7 64bit VM
I have followed the install guide in the Zabbix documentation
and successfully downloaded 3.4.6
I have done the Yum Install of the 3 main Zabbix components

but when I try to create the initial database
MySQL -uroot -p it tells me "command not found"

I have checked and there is a MySQL directory
under lib64

can anybody give me some pointers as to where I may be going wrong
bearing in mind my Linux skills are very minimal ?

Thanks

M

The mysql command is all lowercase.

ex.

# mysql -uroot -p

Since you did not specifically mention it, did you install MySQL first?

Database

I was unable to install MySQL

I found another post with regard to mariaDB
which I then installed via YUM
but I appear to have now broken my yum access as it just says the repo base code is no longer available

Think I will have to wipe and start again

Does anyone have a FULL end to end install guide that does not make assumptions on Linux knowledge or assume anything has been previously installed configured ?
