MySQL Workbench on Fedora
The early release of Fedora 20 disallowed installation of MySQL Workbench but the current version allows it. Almost like Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow without the drama. All you need to do is follow my earlier instructions for installing MySQL on Fedora 20. I’d check your kernel to know whether it’s supported. You can check that with this command:
<shell> uname -r |
My Fedora is at the following version:
3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 |
Then, you can install MySQL Workbench with yum, like this:
<shell> sudo yum install mysql-workbench |
It generates the following log file, and if you have Oracle 11g XE installed you can ignore the mime-type error:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
