MySQL - Version Help

[PapaPerks]

I am currently running TCAdmin with SQLite but i want to install WHMCS. I am reading that it requires MySQL.

 

With that being said, I would like to change my database to MySQL for TCAdmin but i am not sure as to the version of MySQL i should be downloading.

 

I see some versions can be upwords of $3000USD.

 

Am i making the correct assumption that i need to make my TCAdmin database MySQL? And if so is there a cheaper alternative that will run both of these programs correctly?

I am very new to this and a little confused, but loving the learning curve.

The easiest way to install MySQL on a Linux server is buy simply doing 'apt-get install mysql-server' or 'yum install mysql-server', depending on your distro.
