Installing MySQL on Linux 7.1

[Alan]

Excuse Me,

I'm a starter to Linux.
I've downloaded the MySQL-3.23.40-1 for my Linux OS.
They are in .rpm form. How can I install the software properly on Linux?
I try to follow the instructions mentioned in manual.txt but it didn't work.
Can you help me and tell my how to install it via RPM?
Thanks!

Please send me the solution.
