Step-by-Step Guide to Install MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu

Before installing MySQL Workbench, I always update my system packages to ensure I get the latest versions. Open the terminal and run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

 

If you don’t have MySQL Server installed, you can install it using:

sudo apt install mysql-server -y

You can skip this step if MySQL is already installed on your system.

 

Ubuntu provides MySQL Workbench in its official repository. To install it, I run:

sudo apt install mysql-workbench -y

 

Once the installation is complete, I check if MySQL Workbench is installed by running:

mysql-workbench

This command should launch MySQL Workbench.

 

If you prefer a graphical approach, you can open MySQL Workbench from the applications menu. Simply search for "MySQL Workbench" and click to open it.

 

• Open MySQL Workbench.
• Click "+ Add Connection" to create a new connection.
• Enter your MySQL Server hostname, port (default: 3306), username, and password.
• Click "Test Connection" to verify the details.
• If successful, click "OK" to save the connection

 

If you ever need to remove MySQL Workbench, you can do so with:

sudo apt remove --purge mysql-workbench -y
sudo apt autoremove -y
