Install mysql-shell from apt repository

Question

I want to install and configure a high availability cluster for Mysql 8. To automate that, I want to use use apt repository (via ansible). My servers are debian jessy (8) distribution.

I succesfully installed mysql server with commands :

> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5072E1F5
> echo "deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian jessie mysql-8.0" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql80.list
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt install mysql-server

It works fine. Now I want to install Mysql shell to manage a InnoDB cluster. It seems that it is available via apt repository as mentioned in this page : https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ And installation is explained here : https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/installing-mysql-shell-linux-quick.html

But when I execute a install via reposiory, I get an error :

> sudo apt-get install mysql-shell

with the message :

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package mysql-shell

I have same error with server running on debian stretch (9).

Answer 1

Instead of adding the APT repository like gentiane's answer in this page, I downloaded the DEB file manually from the Internet following instruction from MySQL page:

   (1) Download DEB file
   (2) $ dpkg -i <DEB file>
   and then
   (3) $ apt-get install update instruction from here
   (4) $ apt-get install mysql-server
   (5) $ apt-get install mysql-shell

Runtime environment:
   Operation System: Ubuntu 18.04

Answer 2

I solved the problem by adding the apt repository mysql-tools : deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/ stretch mysql-tools

It works for Debian 9 (stretch). Not tested for Debian 8 (jessie).
