title: DirectAdmin + Manual install MySQL 5.7
body: <p>I am currently running CentOS 7 on a VPS managed by DirectAdmin 1.51.3 using Custombuild with MySQL 5.6.x. </p>
  
  <p>For a certain application I need the MySQL 5.7.x JSON features. DirectAdmin currently offers no way to build using anything above MySQL 5.6.</p>
  
  <p>How can I manually upgrade MySQL? Or is there a workaround to use Custombuild with 5.7 after all?</p>
