As mentioned previously, we will install the MySQL server in the same EC2 instance. You can also use an RDS instance from AWS, which is what Amazon recommends for MySQL databases. RDS has many advantages, but to keep things short, we will install MySQL in the same VM instance. Make sure that a shell is open on the instance, as explained earlier, and execute the following commands:
