You will need root privilege in order to install and start MySQL. After
the installation, you may have to edit some confs to get MySQL to start
automatically at every boot. Thereafter, you can access the database
server be creating a user account for Mysql admin (root), plus unlimited
number of user accounts.
See MySQL Docs for more about the installation:

one

get the

groups on

install and

you

I

||> extensively ( I think!!) and stil couldn't find a straight answer.
Thank you
