Best Answer
mysql can be started from upstart. Basically you install mysql-server package. You can easily search for mysql-server package in synaptic and install it. You will be prompted for root password during installtion[i.e.mysql user root password] . After that in terminal just do
sudo start mysql
or
sudo service mysql start
Mysql usually is started on boot so you may have it running as well.
Just
ps aux | grep mysql
to see if it is running.
