3. Change location to the
databases:
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
4. Set the necessary permissions for the MySQL server and data directories:
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
5. Copy the MySQL startup script to the appropriate directory, make it executable, and set it to start
when the operating system is booted up:
shell> cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/
shell> chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql.server
shell> chkconfig --add mysql.server
(The startup scripts directory may vary depending on your operating system and version—for
example, in some Linux distributions, it is /etc/init.d.)
Here we use Red Hat's

As system (that is, after using sudo,

assuming the system administrator account's privileges), perform the following steps to install the data
node binaries on the data node hosts:
1. Change location to the
suitable directory such as /usr/local/bin:
shell> cd /var/tmp
shell> tar -zxvf mysql-5.0.96-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
shell> cd mysql-5.0.96-linux-i686-glibc23
shell> cp bin/ndbd /usr/local/bin/ndbd
(You can safely delete the directory created by unpacking the downloaded archive, and the files it
contains, from
/var/tmp
2. Change location to the directory into which you copied the binary, and make it executable:
shell> cd /usr/local/bin
shell> chmod +x ndbd
The preceding steps should be repeated on each data node host.
Note
The data directory on each machine hosting a data node is
mysql/data. This piece of information is essential when configuring the
management node. (See
