MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3-7.4 Reference Guide
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 provides .deb
installer files for
NDB Cluster 7.3 and NDB Cluster 7.4 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 (6.0
or 7
), and
arch
is one of
i686
or x86_64
. In the
examples that follow, we assume you wish to install NDB 7.4.9 on
a 64-bit Debian 7 system; in this case, the installer file is
named
mysql-cluster-gpl-7.4.9-debian7-x86_64.deb
.
Once you have downloaded the appropriate
.deb
file, you can install it from the
command line using dpkg
, like this:
shell> dpkg -i mysql-cluster-gpl-7.4.9-debian7-i686.deb
You can also remove it using dpkg
as shown
here:
shell> 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 both NDB
Cluster 7.3 and NDB Cluster 7.4, this is always
5.6
. 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.
