1. Obtain the Offline Bundle

Download the mysql-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm-bundle.tar archive from the official MySQL site and transfer it to the Kylin V10 (Lance) host using any removabel medium.

2. Extract and Install RPMs

# Unpack the archive
tar -xf mysql-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm-bundle.tar

# Install in dependency order
sudo dnf -y localinstall \
  mysql-community-common-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm \
  mysql-community-client-plugins-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm \
  mysql-community-libs-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm \
  mysql-community-client-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm \
  mysql-community-icu-data-files-8.0.36-1.el8.aarch64.rpm \

4. Skip Random Root Password Generation

The RPM package automatically creates a random password during the first start. To suppress this and start with an empty root password, patch the helper script:

sudo sed -i 's|--initialize |--initialize-insecure |g' /usr/bin/mysqld_pre_systemd

5. Enable and Launch the Service

sudo systemctl enable --now mysqld

After the daemon is up, connect locally and set a strong root password:

mysql -uroot
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Str0ngP@ss!';
