记录下在CentOS 6.9环境安装MySQL 5.6.37的过程，供大家参考。
如果centos7以上的系统：需要卸载 rpm -e mariadb-libs-5.5.52-1.el7.x86_64 --nodeps
1、准备数据存放的文件系统
新建一个逻辑卷，并将其挂载至特定目录即可。这里不再给出过程。
这里假设其逻辑卷的挂载目录为/data，而后需要创建/data/mysqldata目录做为mysql数据的存放目录。
[root@centos /]# mkdir -p /data/mysqldata
2、新建用户以安全方式运行进程：
[root@centos ~]# useradd mysql -s /sbin/nologin -M
[root@centos ~]# chown -R mysql:mysql /data/mysqldata
3、安装并初始化mysql
[root@centos ~]# wget https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.37-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz
[root@centos ~]# tar -xf mysql-5.6.37-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/
[root@centos ~]# cd /usr/local/
[root@centos local]# ln -sv /usr/local/src/mysql-5.6.37-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64/ mysql #根据实际情况修改
[root@centos local]# cd mysql
[root@centos mysql]# chown -R mysql:mysql .
4.为mysql提供主配置文件: #默认初始化后会在/etc下有my.cnf，如有内容删除覆盖即可
配置文件
[root@centos mysql]# yum install libaio* libnuma* -y #安装依赖
[root@centos mysql]# vim /etc/my.cnf

推荐的my.cnf

#Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

default-time_zone = '+8:00'
[root@centos mysql]# scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/data/mysqldata/
[root@centos mysql]# chown -R root .
5、为mysql提供sysv服务脚本：
[root@centos mysql]# cd /usr/local/mysql
[root@centos mysql]# cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
[root@ccentos mysql]# ldconfig
6、修改PATH环境变量，让系统可以直接使用mysql的相关命令。
[root@centos mysql]# echo "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin" > /etc/profile.d/mysql.sh
[root@centos mysql]# source /etc/profile.d/mysql.sh
7、最后启动服务添加开机启动
[root@centos mysql]# service mysqld start
[root@centos mysql]# chkconfig mysqld on
[root@centos mysql]# cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
[root@centos bin]# ./mysqladmin -u root password '123456'
[root@centos bin]# mysql -uroot -p123456
