there are two ways to install mysql client on centOS.

1. First method (download rpm package)

download rpm package from mysql website https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/

if you download this rpm package like picture, it's filename like mysql-community-client-8.0.21-1.el8.x86_64.rpm.

then execute sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps --force mysql-community-client-8.0.21-1.el8.x86_64.rpm can install the rpm package the parameters -ivh means install, print output, don't verify and check.

if raise error, maybe version conflict, you can execute rpm -pa | grep mysql to find conflicting package, then execute rpm -e --nodeps <package name> to remove them, and install once more.

finnaly, you can execute which mysql, it's success if print /usr/bin/mysql.

2.Second method (Set repo of yum)

Please refer to this official website:
