Install Percona Server for MySQL from Repositories¶
The percona-release tool currently shows an Unknown alias specification error when you use ps-84-lts. The next release of the percona-release tool will fix this error.
In the meantime, use your platform’s version of the APT or YUM package management tools instead.
Percona provides repositories for yum (RPM packages for Red Hat, CentOS and Amazon Linux AMI) and apt (.deb packages for Ubuntu and Debian) for software such as Percona Server for MySQL, Percona XtraBackup, and Percona Toolkit. This makes it easy to install and update your software and its dependencies through your operating system’s package manager. This is the recommended way of installing where possible.
The following guides describe the installation process for using the official Percona repositories for the .deb and .rpm packages.
