MySQL 9.5 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 9.5
There are two methods for installing MySQL from source:
Use a standard MySQL source distribution. To obtain a standard distribution, see Section 2.1.3, “How to Get MySQL”. For instructions on building from a standard distribution, see Section 2.8.4, “Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution”.
Standard distributions are available as compressed
tar files, Zip archives, or RPM packages.
Distribution files have names of the form
mysql-,
VERSION.tar.gzmysql-,
or
VERSION.zipmysql-,
where VERSION.rpmVERSION is a number like
9.5.0. File names for source
distributions can be distinguished from those for precompiled
binary distributions in that source distribution names are
generic and include no platform name, whereas binary
distribution names include a platform name indicating the type
of system for which the distribution is intended (for example,
pc-linux-i686 or
winx64).
Use a MySQL development tree. For information on building from one of the development trees, see Section 2.8.5, “Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree”.
