4.7.1 Introduction à l'installation rapide

The basic commands you must execute to install a MySQL source distribution are (from an unpacked tar file): 

shell> configure
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &

If you start from a source RPM, then do the following. 

shell> rpm --rebuild MySQL-VERSION.src.rpm

This will make a binary RPM that you can install.

You can add new users using the bin/mysql_setpermission script if you install the DBI and Msql-Mysql-modules Perl modules.

Here follows a more detailed description:

To install a source distribution, follow the steps below, then proceed to 4.15 Paramètrage post-installation et tests, for post-installation initialization and testing.

  1. Pick the directory under which you want to unpack the distribution, and move into it.
  2. Obtain a distribution file from one of the sites listed in Getting MySQL. MySQL source distributions are provided as compressed tar archives and have names like `mysql-VERSION.tar.gz', where VERSION is a number like 3.23.5-alpha.
  3. Unpack the distribution into the current directory: 
    shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar xvf -
    This command creates a directory named `mysql-VERSION'.
  4. Change into the top-level directory of the unpacked distribution: 
    shell> cd mysql-VERSION
  5. Configure the release and compile everything: 
    shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
shell> make
    When you run configure, you might want to specify some options. Run ./configure --help for a list of options. configure options, discusses some of the more useful options. If configure fails, and you are going to send mail to lines from `config.log' that you think can help solve the problem. Also include the last couple of lines of output from configure if configure aborts. Post the bug report using the mysqlbug script. 2.3 Comment rapporter des bugs et des problèmes. If the compile fails, see 4.8 Problèmes de compilation?, for help with a number of common problems.
  6. Install everything: 
    shell> make install
    You might need to run this command as root.
  7. Create the MySQL grant tables (necessary only if you haven't installed MySQL before): 
    shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
    Note that MySQL versions older than 3.22.10 started the MySQL server when you run mysql_install_db. This is no longer true!
  8. If you want to install support for the Perl DBI/DBD interface, see 4.10 Remarques sur l'installation Perl.
  9. If you would like MySQL to start automatically when you boot your machine, you can copy support-files/mysql.server to the location where your system has its startup files. More information can be found in the support-files/mysql.server script itself, and in 4.15.3 Démarrer et arrête MySQL automatiquement.

After everything has been installed, you should initialize and test your distribution.

You can start the MySQL server with the following command, where BINDIR is the directory in which safe_mysqld is installed (`/usr/local/bin' by default): 

shell> BINDIR/safe_mysqld &

If that command fails immediately with mysqld daemon ended then you can find some information in the file `mysql-data-directory/'hostname'.err'. The likely reason is that you already have another mysqld server running. 19.3 Faire tourner plusieurs serveurs MySQL sur la même machine.
