“Here, I’ve downloaded MySQL 5.1.41 server
tarball. Please note that one MySQL was already there on server
having differnt version (ver 5.0.77). For second installation,
I’ve downloaded different version to test out things but for
best compatibility, its recommended to download same version.

“3. Create new sandbox for single MySQL server. Pls note that
you should run following command from a non-root user. Though, in
my case, I went ahead and wanted to run command by root user and
for that, we must set an environment variable to > 0 value.”
