Installing from Repositories

  1. Fetch the repository packages from Percona web:

  1. Install the downloaded package with dpkg. To do that, run the following command 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 configuration in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-release.list file.

  1. Update the local cache:
sudo apt-get update
  1. Install the server package:
sudo apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-55

Note

For Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2.x will have to be specified with the meta package so the installation command should look like:

$ sudo apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-55 percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2.x

Note

Alternatively, you can install percona-xtradb-cluster-full-55 meta-package which will install the following additional packages:

  • percona-xtradb-cluster-test-5.5,
  • percona-xtradb-cluster-5.5-dbg,
  • percona-xtradb-cluster-garbd-2.x,
  • percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2x-dbg,

Note

Garbd is packaged separately as part of Debian split packaging. The garbd debian package is percona-xtradb-cluster-garbd-2.x. The package contains, garbd, daemon init script and related config files. This package will be installed if you install the percona-xtradb-cluster-full-55 meta package.

Percona apt Testing repository

Percona offers fresh beta builds from the testing repository. To enable it add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list , replacing VERSION with the name of your distribution:

deb http://repo.percona.com/apt VERSION main testing
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt VERSION main testing

Apt-Pinning the packages

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.
