Install on Debian and Ubuntu

If you are running a DEB-based distribution, such as Debian or Ubuntu, use the apt package manager to install the percona-release official package:

Prerequisites

In Linux distributions that rely on dpkg, the packages wget, gnupg2, curl and lsb-release are already installed. However, these packages may be missing from Docker base images. In this case, install them manually before running dpkg:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y wget gnupg2 curl lsb-release

  1. Fetch the repository package:

    wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb

  2. Install the downloaded repository package with dpkg:

    sudo dpkg -i percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb

  3. After installation, the Percona repositories are available. You can check the repository setup for the Percona original release list in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-original-release.list file.

    Note

    If you have enabled another repository, the file name is different.

  4. Refresh the local cache to update the package information:

    sudo apt update

Dealing with issues

During the installation, dpkg may fail due to unsatisfied dependencies.

dpkg: error processing package percona-release (--install):
installed percona-release package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 255

In this case, run the following command:

sudo apt install --fix-broken

Next steps: run the percona-release command to set up the repository that contains the Percona product that you intend to install.

$ sudo yum install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm

Next steps: run the percona-release command to set up the repository that contains the Percona product that you intend to install.
