I want to install the latest version of MySQL on my Ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS desktop, then try to use it as a local database, but I have been confused because there are a lot of different files here:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
I don't know which file(s) are needed to be downloaded?
Also the same issue here for the MySQL Workbench:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
There are two different files for downloading for Ubuntu 22.04!
If you look at the descriptions of the packages/bundles/debs some have this string: "dbgsym" those are installs with debugging symbols installed. Probably you do not want those (if you did want them, you would know) On your Worksapce Question: the 60M field are debug symbols.
As Ergest said above that package is the APT configuration, (its 65K) once that is complete two more commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt install
dpkg -i mysql-server_8.0.31-1ubuntu22.04_amd64.debbut you have to follow an order during install if I'm not mistaken (it's been a while since I last installed from .deb).Worckbenchwich file should I download? There are a 30MB and a 60MB file when I search for it in the second link I put in my question. Also when I try to install it usingsudo apt install mysql-workbench-communityit gives me the following error:E: Unable to locate package mysql-workbench-community(mysql-workbench-community_8.0.31-1ubuntu22.04_amd64.deb)I guess, i never use MySQL workbench.
