    Chapter 2:  MySQL Installation 65 2  MySQL Installation This chapter describes how to obtain and install MySQL:    For a list of sites from which you can obtain MySQL, see Section 2.2.1 [Getting MySQL], page 69.    To see which platforms are supported, see  Section 2.2.2 [Which OS], page 69.  Please note  that  not  all  supported  systems  are  equally  good  for  running  MySQL  on  them. On some it is much more robust and ecient than otherssee Section 2.2.2 [Which OS], page 69 for details.    Several versions of MySQL are available in both binary and source distributions.  We also provide public access to our current source tree for those who want to see our most recent developments and help us test new code.  To determine which version and type of distribution you should use,  see  Section 2.2.3 [Which version],  page 71.   When in doubt, use the binary distribution.    Installation  instructions  for  binary  and  source  distributions  are  described  in  Sec- tion  2.2.7  [Installing  binary],  page  77,  and  Section  2.3  [Installing  source],  page  80. Each set of instructions includes a section on system-speci c problems you may run into.    For  post-installation  procedures,  see  Section  2.4  [Post-installation],  page  91.   These procedures apply whether you install MySQL using a binary or source distribution. 2.1  Quick Standard Installation of MySQL 2.1.1  Installing MySQL on Linux The recommended way to install MySQL on Linux is by using an RPM le.  The MySQL RPMs are currently being built on a RedHat Version 6.2 system but should work on other versions of Linux that support rpm and use glibc. If you have problems with an RPM le, for example, if you receive the error \Sorry, the host 'xxxx' could not be looked up"see Section 2.6.1.1 [Binary notes-Linux], page 109. The RPM les you may want to use are:    MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm The MySQL server.  You will need this unless you only want to connect to a MySQL server running on another machine.    MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm The standard MySQL client programs.  You probably always want to install this pack- age.    MySQL-bench-VERSION.i386.rpm Tests and benchmarks.  Requires Perl and msql-mysql-modules RPMs.
