Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade MySQL on Linux, but apt search only returns version 5.5. Where do I find 8.*?
Comments
Hello,
by default, many Linux distributions provide older MySQL versions (like 5.5 or 5.7) in their standard repositories.
To get MySQL 8.*, you can use the official repositories:
For Ubuntu/Debian you can refer to this link:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/
For RHEL-based distros like Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux you can refer to this link:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/
Please use the appropriate repository from the links, download it, and then install via rpm or dnf.
Also, if you're open to using MariaDB, we have guides available:

For AlmaLinux/RockyLinux:
