Install MySQL 5.7 client on Amazon Linux 2

install_mysql_client.sh

#!/bin/sh

sudo yum install -y https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y mysql-community-client

👍

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.

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
