Step‑by‑Step Guide to Installing MySQL Offline DEB Packages on Ubuntu and Debian

2.2.2.2.1 MySQL 8.0

Download the MySQL DEB bundle from MySQL.com (select version 8.0.43, OS Ubuntu Linux, and the appropriate Ubuntu version), then extract the tar file.

Install the packages in the exact order to avoid dependency errors:

# wget https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-server_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
# tar xf mysql-server_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
# dpkg -i mysql-community-client-plugins_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-client-core_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-common_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-client_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i libmysqlclient21_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i libmysqlclient-dev_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server-core_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server_8.0.43-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb

If dpkg reports missing dependencies (e.g., libmecab2), install them with apt install -y libmecab2 and repeat the failed dpkg command.

After the server package is installed, start MySQL and enable it at boot:

# systemctl enable --now mysql
# mysql -V

Enter the root password when prompted (see screenshots t45‑t47) and verify the installation with mysql and show databases;.

Installation on Ubuntu 22.04

Repeat the same steps, selecting the Ubuntu 22.04 (x86, 64‑bit) option on the download page (image t49). Use the same dpkg order; resolve libmecab2 if needed.

Installation on Ubuntu 20.04

Download the Ubuntu 20.04 bundle (image t49) and follow the same dpkg sequence. Resolve missing libmecab2 and libtirpc3 with apt install -y libmecab2 libtirpc3, then finish the installation.

Installation on Debian 12

Download the Debian 12 bundle (image t50) and extract it. Install packages in order, then install required dependencies:

# apt install -y libaio1 libmecab2 libnuma1 psmisc
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server-core_8.0.43-1debian12_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server_8.0.43-1debian12_amd64.deb

Enter the root password (images t51‑t53) and verify with mysql.

2.2.2.2.2 MySQL 8.4

For MySQL 8.4 LTS, repeat the same workflow: download the DEB bundle for the target OS (images t57, t59, t60), extract, install packages in order, and resolve the same libmecab2 dependency.

# wget https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/MySQL-8.4/mysql-server_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
# tar xf mysql-server_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
# dpkg -i mysql-community-client-plugins_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-client-core_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-common_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-client_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i libmysqlclient24_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i libmysqlclient-dev_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server-core_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i mysql-community-server_8.4.6-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb

Install missing libmecab2 if required, then start the service:

# systemctl enable --now mysql
# mysql -V

After installation, verify the server version and list databases as shown in the screenshots (t58, t67‑t71).

# mysql
mysql> status;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema|
| sys                |
+--------------------+

All steps are identical for Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12; just replace the download URLs and package names accordingly.
