Installing MySQL Proxy from a Binary Distribution

If you download a binary package, you must extract and copy the package contents to your desired

installation directory. The package contains files required by MySQL Proxy, including additional Lua

Scripts and other components required for execution.

To install, unpackthe archive into the desired directory, then modify your PATH environment variable so

that you can use the mysql-proxy command directly:

3hell>cd /usr/local

3hell>tar zxf rnysql-proxy-0. 8. 2-platform. tar. gz

shel1>PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql-proxy-0. 8.2-platform/sbin

To update the path globally on a system, you might need administrator privileges to modify the

appropriate /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, or other system configuration file.

On Windows, you can update the PATH environment variable using this procedurę:

1.    On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and select Properties.

2.    Next select the Advanced tab from the System Properties menu that appears, and click the

Environment Variables button.

3.    Under System Variables, select Path, then click the Edit button. The Edit System Variable

dialogue should appear.

The Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries are a requirement for running MySOL Proxy as of version
