Using the APT bundle

1. Download the MySQL APT TAR from the MySQL Downloads page, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/:

shell> wget "https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-server_8.0.3-rc-1ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar"
~
Saving to: ‘mysql-server_8.0.3-rc-1ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar’
~

1. Untar the packages:

shell> tar -xvf mysql-server_8.0.3-rc-1ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar 

1. Install the dependencies. You may need to install the libaio1 package if it is not already installed:

shell> sudo apt-get install -y libaio1

1. Upgrade libstdc++6 to the latest:

shell> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
shell> sudo apt-get update
shell> sudo apt-get upgrade -y libstdc++6

1. Upgrade libmecab2 to the latest. If universe is not included, then add the following line to the end of the file (for example, zesty):

shell> sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty main universe

shell> sudo apt-get update
shell> sudo apt-get install libmecab2

1. Preconfigure the MySQL server package with the following command. It asks you to set the root password:

shell> sudo dpkg-preconfigure mysql-community-server_*.deb

1. Install the database common files package, the client package, the client metapackage, the server package, and the server metapackage (in that order); you can do that with a single command:

shell> sudo dpkg -i mysql-{common,community-client-core,community-client,client,community-server-core,community-server,server}_*.deb

1. Install the shared libraries:

shell> sudo dpkg -i libmysqlclient21_8.0.1-dmr-1ubuntu16.10_amd64.deb

1. Verify the installation:

shell> dpkg -l | grep -i mysql
