I am looking to created a linked connection between 2 servers. How do I enabled the federated engine in MySQL?

I just created this server. I have installed,
-apache
-mysql
-php
-phpmyadmin
all on Ubuntu 20.10 x64

Everything else is running, just wanting to get this link enabled :)

Thank you!

What I have tried:

From another source, someone said to do the below which I don't even have this file:
Edit /etc/my.cnf and in the [mysqld] section, add the line:

federated

So what happened when you read the entire FEDERATED section[^] of the MySQL documentation?

Unfortunately, the documentation from what I found did not explain how install/configure it as it was more of how to use.

And from what I did find on how to install from other sources, the results were not the same on my side.

After doing some logical thinking, I was able to find it myself. It is under the folder: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d which holds global options/configurations.

File Name: mysqld.cnf

I then proceeded with adding federated to the below info:

[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
user        = mysql
# pid-file  = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
# socket    = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
# port      = 3306
# datadir   = /var/lib/mysql
federated
