I need to install a MySQL database.

To check if you have a MySQL database server running, you can type

sudo service mysql status
or
mysql

If you get the error,
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
Then it usually means that MySQL is not installed, or not running.

So in my case, since I have a brand-new server that doesn't have MySQL installed by default, I need to install MySQL.
sudo apt install mysql-server

Check if MySQL is running.
sudo service mysql status
