apt repository¶Fetch the repository packages from Percona web:
$ wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_0.1-4.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
Install the downloaded package with dpkg. To do that, run the following commands as root or with sudo:
$ sudo dpkg -i percona-release_0.1-4.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
Once you install this package the Percona repositories should be added. You
can check the repository setup in the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-release.list file.
Remember to update the local cache:
$ sudo apt-get update
After that you can install the package:
$ sudo apt-get install percona-xtrabackup
apt Testing repository¶Percona offers pre-release builds from the testing repository. To enable it add
the just add the testing word at the end of the Percona repository
definition in your repository file (default
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-release.list). It should looks like
this (in this example VERSION is the name of your distribution):
deb http://repo.percona.com/apt VERSION main testing
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt VERSION main testing
For example, if you are running Debian 8 (jessie) and want to install the latest testing builds, the definitions should look like this:
deb http://repo.percona.com/apt jessie main testing
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt jessie main testing
In some cases you might need to “pin” the selected packages to avoid the
upgrades from the distribution repositories. You’ll need to make a new file
/etc/apt/preferences.d/00percona.pref and add the following lines in
it:
Package: *
Pin: release o=Percona Development Team
Pin-Priority: 1001
For more information about the pinning you can check the official debian wiki.
