Hi how can i switch on MySQL 8

Code:

 apt policy mysql-server
mysql-server:
  Installed: 5.5.9999+default
  Candidate: 8.0.13-1debian9
  Version table:
     8.0.13-1debian9 500
        500 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian stretch/mysql-8.0 i386 Packages
 *** 5.5.9999+default 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

As seen 8.0 sits ready to be installed ... would anyone suggest me a tutorial or a link on how i would install this version well

And is the best idea to move on MySQL 8.0

the server is Debian 9 and still this will be the first installations

if you don't use mysql you can simply apt-upgrade. If you have a database probably better to make a backup first.
