Please stop posting spam comments with broken links to your website duplicating the official MySQL docs.
Moreover, this Gist is about installation of MySQL client, not MySQL server.

great!

thanks

Thanks @sshymko, this worked for me. Why do we need both commands? I had tried the second command previously and got issues with GLIBC versions; but now after running the first command, everything works!

@bdforbes
The first command adds an RPM repository to install the MySQL client along with all its dependencies from.

Thanks, I didn't realise that's how yum works.

Updated for 8.0 yum repo

superb, thanks

As of 2022, you are required to import the latest GPG key using: sudo rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022
Thanks to @SomeCallMeTom for pointing that out in his gist.

sudo rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022

sudo rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022

Thanks man

I get:

Cannot open: https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

I get:

Cannot open: https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

First download it manually:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm

Then install it from the locally downloaded file:

sudo yum install mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm

I had the same issue last week. Not sure why yum can't download it

Thanks!
It worked for Amazon Linux 2023.

    const initScriptWrapper = `
      sudo yum install -y https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm; \
      sudo rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022; \
      sudo yum install -y mysql-community-client; \
      sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y postgresql10;
    `;

Thanks, it worked for me with ami amzn2-ami-hvm-2.0.20240223.0-x86_64-gp2
