How to update if installed via Ubuntu APT?

[danfratamico]

I installed version 1.7.17 via Ubuntu 22.04 APT. How can I go about installing the latest 2.5.2 version? Is there an APT repo I can install?

2.5.2 is in Ubuntu 24 https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/noble/mysqltuner

You can download the *.deb at https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/all/mysqltuner/download and install it with 'dpkg -i'

The Line for the repo is mentioned on top of the download-page mentioned above.

To only fetch mysqltuner from that, you need to fiddle with /etc/apt/preferences.

Example: (should be placed in /etc/apt/preferences.d/mysqltuner)

Package: mysqltuner
Pin: release a=noble
Pin-Priority: 900

Further reading:

• man apt_preferences
• man sources.list

If you install mysqltuner with debian/ubntu apt you follow their update.
If you want to upgrade to the latest version I suggest to manually download as described here (it pretty simple): https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl?tab=readme-ov-file#downloadinstallation
I suggest closing this ticket...
