How to upgrade MySql to 5.6

Hi,
First of all I apologize if this is not the correct place to put this question. I have just signed up today and posting my first topic here. So please bear with me.

I need to upgrade my MySql version from 5.5.54 to 5.6 on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS PC (local development environment). I searched and found a number of posts and threads which say I can do this using apt-get.

The problem I have is I installed PHP and MySql about four ago back using Phpbrew along with other services:

$ phpbrew install php 5.6.22+default+curl+json+mysql+gd+libssh-php+asps2=/usr/bin/axps2

If now I upgrade MySql using apt-get can there be any conflict with other software and extensions I installed by Phpbrew?

1. Do I need to upgrade using Phpbrew only? If yes, do I need to use all those extensions I installed along with MySql installation? Phpbrew has the ability to install one package at a time but I am in a dilemma about my existing sites and other settings.

2. If I use apt-get, does this create another instance of MySql or upgrade the current version (because the previous version was installed using Phpbrew).

Looking for your help and advice.

Kind regards,
Subrata Sarkar
