- Install MySQL Server from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and MySQL GUI Tools from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
Note: If you want to enable the remote servers to connect directly to MySQL (System Settings > Remote DB Connections) you should enable root access from remote machines when running the MySQL Instance Configuration. Then run MySQL Administrator and enable the option Startup Variables > Advanced Networking > Disable name resolving. Then restart the MySQL service. This will improve the remote server connection speed. Enabling this option without remote root access enabled can prevent root from logging in even when connecting locally.
