Your copy of mysql was either not built for CentOS or you don't have the right pre-reqs installed. In this case you can run dnf provides '*/libncurses.so.5' to find out which package is missing but... this indicates that you didn't install this from a package or it would have pulled this in automatically. And also, we already ship mysql as part of CentOS 8 - it is a module so you need to dnf module enable mysql then you can dnf install mysql
