Installing NDB Cluster on Windows local/mysql/bin . Only  ndb_mgmd  is required to be present on a management node host; however, it is also a good idea to have  ndb_mgm  present on the same host machine. Neither of these executables requires a specific location on the host machine’s file system. Data nodes.   The only executable required on a data node host is the data node binary  ndbd  or ndbmtd . ( mysqld , for example, does not have to be present on the host machine.) By default, when building from source, this file is placed in the directory  /usr/local/mysql/bin . For installing on multiple data node hosts, only  ndbd  or  ndbmtd  need be copied to the other host machine or machines. (This assumes that all data node hosts use the same architecture and operating system; otherwise you may need to compile separately for each different platform.) The data node binary need not be in any particular location on the host’s file system, as long as the location is known. When compiling NDB Cluster from source, no special options are required for building multithreaded data node binaries. Configuring the build with  NDB  storage engine support causes  ndbmtd  to be built automatically;  make install  places the  ndbmtd  binary in the installation  bin  directory along with mysqld ,  ndbd , and  ndb_mgm . SQL nodes.   If you compile MySQL with clustering support, and perform the default installation (using make install  as the system  root  user),  mysqld  is placed in  /usr/local/mysql/bin . Follow the steps given in Section 2.9, “Installing MySQL from Source”  to make  mysqld  ready for use. If you want to run multiple SQL nodes, you can use a copy of the same  mysqld  executable and its associated support files on several machines. The easiest way to do this is to copy the entire  /usr/local/mysql  directory and all directories and files contained within it to the other SQL node host or hosts, then repeat the steps from Section 2.9, “Installing MySQL from Source”  on each machine. If you configure the build with a nondefault  PREFIX  option, you must adjust the directory accordingly. In Section 23.2.3, “Initial Configuration of NDB Cluster” , we create configuration files for all of the nodes in our example NDB Cluster. This section describes installation procedures for NDB Cluster on Windows hosts. NDB Cluster 8.0 binaries for Windows can be obtained from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. For information about installing NDB Cluster on Windows from a binary release provided by Oracle, see Section 23.2.2.1, “Installing NDB Cluster on Windows from a Binary Release” . It is also possible to compile and install NDB Cluster from source on Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio. For more information, see Section 23.2.2.2, “Compiling and Installing NDB Cluster from Source on Windows” . This section describes a basic installation of NDB Cluster on Windows using a binary “no-install”  NDB Cluster release provided by Oracle, using the same 4-node setup outlined in the beginning of this section (see Section 23.2, “NDB Cluster Installation” ), as shown in the following table: 23.2.2 Installing NDB Cluster on Windows 23.2.2.1 Installing NDB Cluster on Windows from a Binary Release Table 23.7 Network addresses of nodes in example cluster 3987 Node IP Address Management node ( mgmd ) 198.51.100.10 SQL node ( mysqld ) 198.51.100.20 Data node "A" ( ndbd ) 198.51.100.30 Data node "B" ( ndbd ) 198.51.100.40
