With the CentOS project switching its focus to CentOS Stream, one of the alternatives that aim to function as a downstream build (building and releasing packages after they’re released by Red Hat) is Rocky Linux. This how-to shows how to install Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 on the Rocky Linux distribution.
You can get the information on the distribution release version by checking the /etc/redhat-release file:
|
1 2 |
[root@rocky ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Rocky Linux release 8.4 (Green Obsidian) |
Installing and Setting up the Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 Repository
Downloading and Installing the percona-release repository package for Red Hat Linux and derivatives:
|
1 |
[root@rocky ~]# yum install -y https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm |
This should result in:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
… Verifying : percona-release-1.0-26.noarch 1/1 Installed: percona-release-1.0-26.noarch Complete! |
Once the repository package is installed, you should set up the Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 repository by running:
|
1 |
[root@rocky ~]# percona-release setup ps80 |
Please note that you’ll be prompted to disable the mysql module to install Percona Server packages:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 |

Installing and Setting up the Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 Binaries
This part is also covered in the Percona Server for MySQL documentation.
1. Installing the latest Percona Server 8.0 binaries:
|
1 |
[root@rocky ~]# yum -y install percona-server-server |
This will also install all the required dependencies:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
Installed: compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-3.el8.x86_64 libaio-0.3.112-1.el8.x86_64 percona-server-client-8.0.23-14.1.el8.x86_64 percona-server-server-8.0.23-14.1.el8.x86_64 percona-server-shared-8.0.23-14.1.el8.x86_64 percona-server-shared-compat-8.0.23-14.1.el8.x86_64 Complete! |
2. After installation is done, you can start the mysqld service:
|
1 |
[root@rocky ~]# systemctl start mysqld |
3. Once the service is running you can check the status by running:
|
1 |
[root@rocky ~]# systemctl status mysqld |
You should get similar output to:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |

From this process, we can see that the installation on RockyLinux is the same as installing Percona Server for MySQL on CentOS/Red Hat.
