It looks like you're using Linux. In that case, you might find it easier to install a pre-packaged version of the module. On a Red Hat derivative try yum install perl-DBD-mysql; on a Debian derivative try apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl.

Oracle provides Debian packages for installing MySQL on Debian or Debian-like Linux systems. The packages are available through two different channels:

Linux Mysql Install Debian

• The MySQL APT Repository, supporting Debian and Ubuntu platforms. For details, see Section 2.5.3, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL APT Repository”.

• The MySQL Developer Zone's Download Area. For details, see Section 2.1.3, “How to Get MySQL”. The following are some information on the Debian packages available there and the instructions for installing them:

  • You may also need to install the libaio library if it is not already present on your system:

  • Various Debian packages are provided in the MySQL Developer Zone for installing different components of MySQL. The preferred method is to use the tarball bundle, which contains the packages needed for a basic setup of MySQL. The tarball bundles have names in the format of mysql-server_MVER-DVER_CPU.deb-bundle.tar. MVER is the MySQL version and DVER is the Linux distribution version. The CPU value indicates the processor type or family for which the package is built, as shown in the following table:

    Table 2.12 MySQL Debian and Ubuntu Installation PackageCPU Identifiers

    CPU Value	Intended Processor Type or Family
    i386	Pentium processor or better, 32 bit
    amd64	64-bit x86 processor

    
    

  • After downloading the tarball, unpack it with the following command:

  • In general, install the deb packages unpacked from the tarball with the command (see explanations below for the extra steps required for installing the server package):

    There are four packages to install:

    • The database common files (install this package before the other ones):

    • The MySQL server:

      Install first the package for the database common files (see the last bullet), and then pre-configure your server installation by the following command:

      You are asked to provide a password for the root user for your MySQL installation. You might also be asked other questions regarding the installation.

      Make sure you remember the root password you set. Users who want to set a password later can leave the password field blank in the dialogue box and just press . However, it is very important that you set the password soon using the program mysql_secure_installation, as people can gain anonymous access to your MySQL server until you have secured the database's root account with a password.

      Next, install the server package with the following command:

    • The MySQL client:

    • The MySQL shared client library:

    Here are where the files are installed on the system:

    • All configuration files (like my.cnf) are under /etc

    • All binaries, libraries, headers, etc., are under /usr

    • The data directory is under /var

Debian distributions of MySQL are also provided by other vendors. Be aware that they may differ from those built by Oracle in features, capabilities, and conventions (including communication setup), and that the instructions in this manual do not necessarily apply to installing them. The vendor's instructions should be consulted instead.

Many Linux distributions include a version of the MySQL server, client tools, and development components in their native software repositories and can be installed with the platforms' standard package management systems. This section provides basic instructions for installing MySQL using those package management systems.

Native packages are often several versions behind the currently available release. You are also normally unable to install development milestone releases (DMRs), since these are not usually made available in the native repositories. Before proceeding, we recommend that you check out the other installation options described in Section 2.5, “Installing MySQL on Linux”.

Distribution specific instructions are shown below:

• Red Hat Linux, Fedora, CentOS

  For a number of Linux distributions, you can install MySQL using the MySQL Yum repository instead of the platform's native software repository. See Section 2.5.1, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL Yum Repository” for details.

  For Red Hat and similar distributions, the MySQL distribution is divided into a number of separate packages, mysql for the client tools, mysql-server for the server and associated tools, and mysql-libs for the libraries. The libraries are required if you want to provide connectivity from different languages and environments such as Perl, Python and others.

  To install, use the yum command to specify the packages that you want to install. For example:

  MySQL and the MySQL server should now be installed. A sample configuration file is installed into /etc/my.cnf. To start the MySQL server use systemctl:

  The database tables are automatically created for you, if they do not already exist. You should, however, run mysql_secure_installation to set the root passwords on your server.

• Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu

  For supported Debian and Ubuntu versions, MySQL can be installed using the MySQL APT Repository instead of the platform's native software repository. See Section 2.5.2, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using the MySQL APT Repository” for details.

  On Debian and related distributions, there are two packages for MySQL in their software repositories, mysql-client and mysql-server, for the client and server components respectively. You should specify an explicit version, for example mysql-client-5.1, to ensure that you install the version of MySQL that you want.

  To download and install, including any dependencies, use the apt-get command, specifying the packages that you want to install.

  Before installing, make sure that you update your apt-get index files to ensure you are downloading the latest available version.

  The apt-get command installs a number of packages, including the MySQL server, in order to provide the typical tools and application environment. This can mean that you install a large number of packages in addition to the main MySQL package.

  During installation, the initial database is created, and you are prompted for the MySQL root password (and confirmation). A configuration file is created in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. An init script is created in /etc/init.d/mysql.

  The server should already be started. You can manually start and stop the server using:

  The service is automatically added to the 2, 3 and 4 run levels, with stop scripts in the single, shutdown and restart levels.
