Installation and Configuration
In this section we discuss how to install MySQL Cluster and configure it.
Release Model and Versioning
MySQL Cluster is developed and maintained at a different pace than the normal MySQL
server. Having both separate allows to release more often and independently.
With the new release model came a new versioning scheme. Here is an overview of MySQL
Cluster versions with their full version:
Download
MySQL Cluster .. full version
6.3.33 mysql-5.1.44 ndb-6.3.33
7.0.14 mysql-5.1.44 ndb-7.0.14
7.1.2a mysql-5.1.41 ndb-7.1.2beta
Just like the regular MySQL releases, MySQL Cluster can be downloaded from the
Developer Zone on mysql.com: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
Here is an example of the tar-distribution for 32-bit Linux platforms, the one used in this
tutorial:
Installation
mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.2a-beta-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
You can install MySQL Cluster the same way you install a regular MySQL server. You are
free to place it where ever you like, but the more ‘default’ on UNIX-like systems, is in
/usr/local.
Here are instructions for installing MySQL Cluster on a Linux 32-bit platform.
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> tar xzf mysql-cluster-gpl-7.0.13-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
shell> ln -s mysql-cluster-gpl-7.0.13-linux-i686-glibc23 mysql
