The recommended way to install MySQL on Linux is by using an RPM
file. The MySQL RPMs are currently being built on a RedHat 5.2
system but should work on other versions of Linux that support rpm and
use glibc.
If you have problems with an RPM file, for example Sorry, the host
'xxxx' could not be looked up, see section 4.6.3.1 Linux notes.
The RPM files you may want to use are:
MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm
The MySQL server. You will need this unless you only want to
connect to another MySQL server running on another machine.
MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm
The standard MySQL client programs. You probably always want to
install this package.
MySQL-bench-VERSION.i386.rpm
Tests and benchmarks. Requires Perl and msql-mysql-modules RPMs.
MySQL-devel-VERSION.i386.rpm
Libraries and include files needed if you want to compile other
MySQL clients, such as the Perl modules.
MySQL-VERSION.src.rpm
This contains the source code for all of the above packages. It can also
be used to try to build RPMs for other architectures (for example, Alpha
or SPARC).
To see all files in an RPM package:
shell> rpm -qpl MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm
To perform a standard minimal installation, run this command:
shell> rpm -i MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm
To install just the client package:
shell> rpm -i MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm
The RPM places data in `/var/lib/mysql'. The RPM also creates the appropriate entries in `/sbin/rc.d/' to start the server automatically at boot time. (This means that if you have performed a previous installation, you may want to make a copy of your previously-installed MySQL startup file if you made any changes to it, so you don't lose your changes.)
After installing the RPM file(s), go to the binary install section and use the instructions there, starting from the step that creates the MySQL grant tables. Confère section 4.6 Installer une version binaire de MySQL.
