Possible to yum install mysql without root access?

  • 772

I need to set up a mysql client on CentOS, and usually do this with:

[pd@l01 ~]$ yum install mysql
You need to be root to perform this command.

However, I don't have root and I cannot sudo. is it possible for me to install mysql for the local user only (without sudo/root) or is this something where I need additional permission/access in order to do anything?

For reference:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
$ yum --version
