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: 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: 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): 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. 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: 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: 3985 23.2.1.3 Installing NDB Cluster Using .deb Files
