Installing Percona (Mysql) Server on Ubuntu
Full documentation for installing Percona server on Ubuntu can be found on Percona's official site .
However this is the short form I run through in bash....
sudo su -
export UBUNTU_CODENAME=`lsb_release -c | sed "s|Codename:\s||"`
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A
gpg -a --export CD2EFD2A | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repo.percona.com/apt $UBUNTU_CODENAME main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt $UBUNTU_CODENAME main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install percona-server-server-5.5 percona-server-client-5.5
