Cannot install for arm64 architecture

MySQL & MariaDB

I followed these instructions to install Percona MySQL on my Ubuntu 22.04 Arm64 (Running on Parallels Mac M1 Pro).

I get these errors:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://repo.percona.com/percona/apt jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://repo.percona.com/prel/apt jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'

Is percona not available for arm64?

Hi Axel,

Only rpm packages are available for arm64 architecture yet.

Thank you.

I see. I just finished installing Red Hat aarch64. Now, could you please help me with the installation? What are the commands that I should run?

Following instructions do not work:

sudo yum install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo percona-release enable-only ps-8x-innovation release
sudo percona-release enable tools release
sudo yum install percona-server-server

WARNING: Skipping aarch64 architecture, as it's not supported

What should be the correct repository URL?

Thanks.

Please exec the next command before running percona-release utilite.

sed -i "s|x86_64|x86_64 aarch64|" /usr/bin/percona-release

It works! Thank you. But for some reason it doesn’t install all packages as stated in https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/yum-files.html:

/var/lib/mysql is completely empty.

I ran:

[root@localhost etc]# mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
[root@localhost etc]# systemctl start mysql
Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysqld.service" and "journalctl -xeu mysqld.service" for details.

And then these are the logs,

In my case it was because SELinux was blocking mysqld: journalctl -xe.

Running this command worked: restorecon -Rv /var/lib/mysql.
