new install, db question

[Chad_Abizeid]

Currently running Centos 6x with MySQL. I see that NodeBB requires Redis or MongoDB. If I install via root ssh using the CentOS 6/7 instructions, I assume this won't interfere with MySQL right? Just asking to be cautious.

Thanks.

@Chad nope. Redis and MongoDB are not comparable with MySQL first ahead as both are NoSQL. Additionally they also use a different port than MySQL. So basically you can install and run them without any issues.
