Percona yum Repository

The Percona yum repository supports popular RPM-based operating systems, including the Amazon Linux AMI.

The easiest way to install the Percona Yum repository is to install an RPM that configures yum and installs the Percona GPG key. Installation can also be done manually.

Automatic Installation

Execute the following command as a root user, replacing x86_64 with i386 if you are not running a 64-bit operating system:

$ rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

The RPMs for the automatic installation are available at http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/ and include source code.

You should see some output such as the following:
