Hi,

Don’t know that course. Didn’t take it.
I don’t know all the MySQL products but from your picture there is nothing very complicated.
It basically asks you if you want to install the client, server or both (including extra tools likely).

So when would you pick one or another option ?

  • Say you are a developer and in the environment you are working in there is a DBA (Database Administrator). You don’t need to install the server. So* you install client only* to be able to query the server.
  • Say you are a DBA : You need to install the server on a specific machine. This machine may or may not have the client installed. For instance to comply by a security policy. You install server only. Then you will need to do just like the developer and reach to a machine with the client installed so that you can query it.
  • Say you are in a very similar environment as above but there is no such security policy. Moreover DBAs find ithandy for they often need to query right from the server room. You may install full or you may install custom.
  • Say you just need one tool without server or client whatever it is, * you install custom*.
  • You name it…

Basically it is up to you. On your personal machine, in the context of learning I would go full or custom. Client, server as bare minimum and make sure to install any tool such as MySQL Workbench. Both our dev and DBA may work with it.

Hope this helps.

Simply things go forward all the time.
Anyone could release a course and the very next day there is an update that changes how it looks.

Do not overthink it.
I gave you clues on what those options are and what you could pick. If you’re still unsure just install the full package.

Don’t be afraid to test out the tools, hit a road block uninstall and reinstall, then try again. The number of times i had to just move forward downloading a tool the ‘wrong way’ cause things changed and i had to figure out how to bootstrap it as i go… is a lot. Honestly still not sure if my sql is the same as moshes but i finished almost the whole course. I stopped to focus on other things cause i learned enough for now.

Work is just hard until you can work smarter.
