shell> rpm -Uhv MySQL-Cluster-server-gpl-8.0.25-1.sles11.i386.rpm 

Although this installs all NDB Cluster binaries, only the program ndbd  or ndbmtd  (both in /usr/sbin ) is actually needed to run an NDB Cluster data node. 

SQL nodes.  On each machine to be used for hosting a cluster SQL node, install the server  RPM by executing the following command as the system root user, replacing the name shown for the RPM as necessary to match the name of the RPM downloaded from the MySQL website: 

shell> rpm -Uhv MySQL-Cluster-server-gpl-8.0.25-1.sles11.i386.rpm 

This installs the MySQL server binary ( mysqld ) with NDB  storage engine support in the /usr/sbin directory, as well as all needed MySQL Server support files. It also installs the mysql.server  and mysqld_safe  startup scripts (in /usr/share/mysql  and /usr/bin , respectively). The RPM installer should take care of general configuration issues (such as creating the mysql  user and group, if needed) automatically. 

To administer the SQL node (MySQL server), you should also install the client  RPM, as shown here: 

shell> rpm -Uhv MySQL-Cluster-client-gpl-8.0.25-1.sles11.i386.rpm 

This installs the mysql  client program. 

Management nodes.  To install the NDB Cluster management server, it is necessary only to use the server  RPM. Copy this RPM to the computer intended to host the management node, and then install it by running the following command as the system root user (replace the name shown for the RPM as necessary to match that of the server  RPM downloaded from the MySQL website): 

shell> rpm -Uhv MySQL-Cluster-server-gpl-8.0.25-1.sles11.i386.rpm 

Although this RPM installs many other files, only the management server binary ndb_mgmd  (in the / usr/sbin  directory) is actually required for running a management node. The server  RPM also installs ndb_mgm , the NDB  management client. 

See Section 2.5.4, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages from Oracle” , for general information about installing MySQL using RPMs supplied by Oracle. See Section 23.2.3, “Initial Configuration of NDB Cluster” , for information about required post-installation configuration. 

## 23.2.1.3 Installing NDB Cluster Using .deb Files 

The section provides information about installing NDB Cluster on Debian and related Linux distributions such Ubuntu using the .deb  files supplied by Oracle for this purpose. 

Oracle also provides an NDB Cluster APT repository for Debian and other distributions. See Installing MySQL NDB Cluster Using the APT Repository , for instructions and additional information. 

Oracle provides .deb  installer files for NDB Cluster for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For a Debian-based system, only a single installer file is necessary. This file is named using the pattern shown here, according to the applicable NDB Cluster version, Debian version, and architecture: 

mysql-cluster-gpl- ndbver -debian debianver - arch .deb 

Here, ndbver  is the 3-part NDB  engine version number, debianver  is the major version of Debian ( 8 or 9 ), and arch  is one of i686  or x86_64 . In the examples that follow, we assume you wish to install NDB 8.0.25 on a 64-bit Debian 9 system; in this case, the installer file is named mysql-cluster- gpl-8.0.25-debian9-x86_64.deb-bundle.tar . 

Once you have downloaded the appropriate .deb  file, you can untar it, and then install it from the command line using dpkg , like this:
