-Automated Bash installer for **MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04**, configured for password-only authentication  
-(no `auth_socket`, no silent root login, no surprises).
+Install MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04 server.
 
-This is a **production-focused installer**, not a lab toy.  
-Run it once → MySQL is installed, hardened, and ready for real workloads.
+This is not a guide and not a toy.  
+This script is built for consistent, repeatable deployments.
 
----
+## Why this installer exists
+Different distros ship different defaults, often requiring manual cleanup. This installer standardizes configuration.
 
-## What this installer does
+## What this installer does  
+✔ Enforces `mysql_native_password`  
+✔ No socket login — predictable auth  
+✔ Removes anonymous users + test DB  
+✔ Creates `/root/.my.cnf` for CLI access  
+✔ Safe to re-run without wiping data  
 
-✔ Installs MySQL Server + Client  
-✔ Forces **password authentication for root** (`mysql_native_password`)  
-✔ Removes anonymous users and the test database  
-✔ Disables remote root access  
-✔ Creates `/root/.my.cnf` for passwordless root CLI access  
-✔ Runs non-interactively (no `mysql_secure_installation` wizard)  
-✔ Safe to re-run — existing data is not dropped
+## What this installer does *NOT* do
+It won’t stop you from running the script without reading the documentation like there’s no tomorrow.  
+Skip the README, and whatever happens next is your headache, not a bug report.
