I had seen many answers to install MySQL. I had tried everything. It shows: There's no MySQL already installed Unable to locate package MySQL-server For synaptic, there's no keyword found Unable to connect to 172.17.0.1:3128 if I try update. Am sick of all the errors. Can anyone guide me from the beginning to install MySQL ?? Please asap since it's urgent ! :) Thanks in advance !

You can try to download all the packages manually and try. this type of installation you dont get 'unable to locate somePackage'
- go to this link
(assuming you want to install latest mysql version)
- Then select your platform as "Ubuntu Linux". And download all the
packages according to Ubuntu version and whether your computer is 64bit or 32bit.
(dont worry there might be around 11 packages) - copy all packages to folder temp(for example) in your home directory.
- open terminal. then type
cd temp - then type
sudo dpkg -i * - by this all packages will be installed and so will the latest stable mysql version.
