Percona yum Repository 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. You can also do the installation manually.
Automatic Installation¶
Execute the following command as a root user:
$ yum install http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-3/percona-release-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
You should see some output such as the following:
