Installation of MySQL Cluster on Linux

This section covers installation methods for MySQL Cluster on Linux and other Unix-like operating

systems. While the next few sections refer to a Linux operating system, the instructions and procedures

given there should be easily adaptable to other supported Unix-like platforms. For manuał installation

and setup instructions specific to Windows systems, see Section 17.2.3, “Installing

MySQL Cluster on

Windows".

Each MySQL Cluster host Computer must have the correct executable programs installed. A host

running an SQL node must have installed on it a MySQL Server binary (mysqld). Management nodes

require the management server daemon (ndb_mgmd); data nodes require the data node daemon

(ndbd or ndbmtd). It is not necessary to install the MySQL Server binary on management node hosts

and data node hosts. It is recommended that you also install the management Client (ndb_mgm) on the management server host.

Installation of MySQL Cluster on Linux can be done using precompiled binaries from Oracle

(downloaded as a tar.gz archive), with RPM packages (also available from Oracle), or from source

codę. Ali three of these installation methods are described in the section that follow. Regardless of the method used, it is still necessary following installation of the MySOL Cluster binaries

to create configuration files for all cluster nodes, before you can start the cluster. SeeSection 17.2.4,

“InitialConfiguration of MySOL Cluster".
