I'll be honest I know nothing about Linux, but for a few weeks I've been setting up my Minecraft server on a virtual machine on the cloud because it's way better than hosting companies, of course you have to go through more stuff but in the long run I think it's worth it, everything was going good so far, but now I need "MySQL" or another database (I want that one because it's popular so I'll find help easily) for global ranks and to sync info across my network, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I can only access the machine through putty and I tried following this tutorial , but I have no idea how I messed up and I want to uninstall it and reinstall it clean with your help, so that I don't ruin it any more. I tried a command or something I found on Google, but it didn't work.

the output in the picture means you don't have the package **mysql** or **mysql-server** in your server. so you can continue to the next step in the tutorial.

before begin, I think the most important thing you need is to clarify what the commands on ubuntu mean, so next will list a few commands that you may need to use during the mysql installation and what they mean.

Update the package database on your server

sudo apt-get update

Install a package

sudo apt install package_name
e.g. install the mysql package sudo apt install mysql-server

lists all the packages already installed related with mysql on your system.

apt list --installed | grep -E 'mysql|mysql-server'

Uninstall a package

sudo apt remove package_name
e.g. sudo apt remove mysql-server

If you are not sure of the package name, use this to confirm it

sudo apt search package_name
e.g. sudo apt search mysql-server

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
