Hello ,

Trying to install mysql 5.6 on linux and keep getting REQUIRES : systemd error. Not sure how do i install systemd or should i simply ignore the broken pipe using --skip-broken during yum installation of mysql-server. Following are the details of system .

Error: Package: mysql-community-server-5.6.34-2.el7.x86_64 (mysql56-community)
Requires: systemd
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


NOTE: not sure from where system is getting this 5.6.34 version

Thanks in advance...

The above means that mysql is already installed in your system

The error you get is because you're trying to install a package that is built for a different system (note the el7 in the package name above)

@bathory,

Thanks for the response and clarification. I had tried el7.9 package too but had same error popping up. However, it was good news and helpful to know that mysql is already installed.
So i would try now to configure and migrate existing h2 db to the new mysql db (fingers crossed).
