I am on an ubuntu machine using LAMP, I am trying to install magento. I have downloaded the magento and completed with the Readiness Check. When I am trying to create database it shows the following error:
Sorry, but we support MySQL version 5.6.0 or later.
What I did was to create an empty database in phpmyadmin namely magento. In the setup wizard of magento I added the following to add a database:
Database Server Host:localhost
Database Server Host:root //phpmyadmin username
Database Server Password:password //phpmyamdin password
Database Name: magento//database name as enter in phpmyadmin
Table prefix: //empty
so, is there any quick way how I can upgrade my MySQL version.

Here is the solution
Uninstall the current verion of mysql by using the following commands in the terminal
sudo apt-get remove mysql-server
sudo apt-get autoremove
After this Install the MySQL 5.6 by using the following
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.6 mysql-client-core-5.6
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6
During this you will be asked for the password enter it and thats it.
