Exercise 2

In this exercise, you will: Install the Percona Yum repository, Percona Server 8.4, Percona Toolkit and other useful utilities.

• 2.1 - Install the Percona Yum Repo

  # dnf install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
  

• 2.2 - Install Percona Server 8.4 LTS

  We need to enable the specific 8.4 LTS series branches:

  # percona-release setup ps-84-lts
  # percona-release enable pxb-84-lts
  # percona-release enable pt
  

  Then we can install Percona Server for MySQL 8.4:

  # dnf install percona-server-server percona-server-client percona-server-shared
  

  Now we can install the Percona Toolkit, and Percona Xtrabackup 8.4

  # dnf install percona-toolkit percona-xtrabackup-84
