MySQL 8.4 Release Notes
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.
Oracle also provides an NDB Cluster 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 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
8.4.0 on a 64-bit Debian 9 system; in this
case, the installer file is named
mysql-cluster-gpl-8.4.0-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-8.4.0-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
8.4, this is always
8.4. The directory layout is the
same as that for the generic Linux binary distribution (see
Table 2.3, “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.
