Percona Server on Ubuntu

[Andy]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Percona Server on Ubuntu. The download page has
many packages:

http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.1/Percona-Server-5.1.51-11.5/deb/karmic/i686/

libmysqlclient-dev_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_i386.deb
libmysqlclient15-dev_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_all.deb
libmysqlclient16_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_i386.deb
percona-server-client-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_i386.deb
percona-server-client_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_all.deb
percona-server-common_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_all.deb
percona-server-dfsg-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic.dsc
percona-server-dfsg-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic.tar.gz
percona-server-dfsg-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_i386.changes
percona-server-server-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_i386.deb
percona-server-server_5.1.51-11.5-132.karmic_all.deb

Many of them have similar names. Which packages do I need to install?

Thanks.

Hi Andy,

You're better off installing from the Percona APT repository, so you can easily get package upgrades and pull in dependencies. The instructions to do this are on the Percona site, here:

http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:release:start

Hi,

I did follow the instructions there. I ran the commands:

# gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A
# gpg -a --export CD2EFD2A | apt-key add -
# apt-get update

What do I need to do after that? Thanks.

Well, this has added the package repos to APT, now you need to install a package. Something like "apt-get install percona-server-server-51" should get you going.

Thank you Graeme.
