Get mySQL for windows at following Link: Windows (This is an all-in-one package, so just download and install. It should be around 331 MB in size.) (You will only need to use the shell version of MySQL to move on and Workbench software is not needed as of now, so you can save some traffic of data by downloading shell version of MySQL from their website if you know to set-up afterwards, for all others use this GUI to get started).

A note while installation, leave the default settings as it is, except for selecting the option to install all the components (Full).
