4. Unpack the distribution, which creates the installation
directory. Then create a symbolic link to that directory:
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
The tar command creates a directory named mysql-VERSION-OS.
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mariadb-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s full-path-to-mariadb-VERSION-OS mysql
The tar command creates a directory named mariadb-VERSION-OS.
The ln command makes a symbolic link to that directory. This
lets you refer more easily to the installation directory as
/usr/local/mysql.
With GNU tar, no separate invocation of gunzip is necessary.
You can replace the first line with the following alternative
command to uncompress and extract the distribution:
shell> tar zxvf /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz
shell> tar zxvf /path/to/mariadb-VERSION-OS.tar.gz

5. Change location into the installation directory:
shell> cd mysql
