Install MySQL Workbench – How to Install MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 11.10

11.10MySQL

Installing MySQL workbench on 10.04 or 10.10 is not a problem, as the deb packages are available on MySQL's website. But there is no 11.04 deb package available.

So, how do I install MySQL workbench on 11.04 and keep it updated automatically when updates become available to ubuntu via apt-get update.

Select "Ubuntu" from MySQL Workbench downloads page

You will have a choice of:

Ubuntu Linux ver. 10.10 (x86, 64-bit), DEB
(mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.33b-1ubu1010-amd64.deb)

Ubuntu Linux ver. 10.10 (x86, 32-bit), DEB      
(mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.33b-1ubu1010-i386.deb)

and 2 slightly older versions:

Ubuntu Linux ver. 10.04 (x86, 64-bit), DEB
(mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.33b-1ubu1004-amd64.deb)

Ubuntu Linux ver. 10.04 (x86, 32-bit), DEB  
(mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.33b-1ubu1004-i386.deb)

As you can see there are only 10.04 versions but you can download the .deb you need and when it is done downloading Ubuntu Software Center will open up with this screen:

and the rest is just normal Ubuntu. I needed it myself (mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.33b-1ubu1010-i386.deb) so I can confirm it works.
