Binary tarball file names available based on the Percona Server for MySQL version

For later of Percona Server for MySQL, the tar files are organized by the glibc2 version. You can find this version on your operating system with the following command:

ldd --version
Expected output 
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3.1) 2.35

The first line of the output ends with the glibc version. Select the tarball with that glibc version. If Percona does not publish that version, select the newest published glibc version that is older than yours. A tarball built for an older glibc runs on a newer glibc. If every published tarball is newer than your glibc, Percona Server for MySQL does not support the operating system.

Run the following command to find the CPU architecture, and select the matching tarball. The example on the install page uses x86_64:

uname -m

Generic binary tarballs are built for x86_64. If this command prints aarch64, Percona does not publish a tarball for that CPU. Use an APT or DNF package, a Docker image with the 8.4.11-arm64 tag, or compile from source.

Ubuntu 26.04 reports glibc 2.43. Use the glibc 2.35 tarball on that release. The steps are on the Install from a binary tarball page.

The tarball links shared libraries from the operating system it was built on. Package names for those libraries are on the Operating system libraries page.
