The section provides information about installing NDB Cluster on
Debian and related Linux distributions such Ubuntu using the
.deb
files supplied by Oracle for this
purpose.
For NDB Cluster 7.5.6 and later, Oracle also provides an APT repository for Debian and other distributions. See Installing MySQL NDB Cluster Using the APT Repository, for instructions and additional information.
Oracle provides .deb
installer files for
NDB Cluster 7.5 and later for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For a
Debian-based system, only a single installer file is necessary.
This file is named using the pattern shown here, according to
the applicable NDB Cluster version, Debian version, and
architecture:
mysql-cluster-gpl-ndbver-debiandebianver-arch.deb
Here, ndbver
is the 3-part
NDB
engine version number,
debianver
is the major version of
Debian (8
or 9
), and
arch
is one of
i686
or x86_64
. In the
examples that follow, we assume you wish to install NDB
7.6.30 on a 64-bit Debian 9 system; in this
case, the installer file is named
mysql-cluster-gpl-7.6.30-debian9-x86_64.deb-bundle.tar
.
Once you have downloaded the appropriate
.deb
file, you can untar it, and then
install it from the command line using dpkg
,
like this:
$> dpkg -i mysql-cluster-gpl-7.6.30-debian9-i686.deb
You can also remove it using dpkg
as shown
here:
$> dpkg -r mysql
The installer file should also be compatible with most graphical
package managers that work with .deb
files,
such as GDebi
for the Gnome desktop.
The .deb
file installs NDB Cluster under
/opt/mysql/server-
,
where version
/version
is the 2-part release
series version for the included MySQL server. For NDB 7.5 and
later, this is always 5.7
. The directory
layout is the same as that for the generic Linux binary
distribution (see MySQL Installation Layout for Generic Unix/Linux Binary Package),
with the exception that startup scripts and configuration files
are found in support-files
instead of
share
. All NDB Cluster executables, such as
ndb_mgm, ndbd, and
ndb_mgmd, are placed in the
bin
directory.
