How to install ProxySQL

ProxySQL offers 2 types of releases:

• pre-packaged versions of the last stable version (periodically updated at https://github.com/sysown/proxysql/releases). The list of currently supported operating systems for binary packaging is:
• Ubuntu 14
• Ubuntu 12
• CentOS 7

Installing from source

Make sure you have installed the equivalent for each of these packages for your operating system:

• automake
• bzip2
• cmake
• make
• g++
• gcc
• git
• patch
• openssl
• openssl-devel # Only for RHEL / CentOS based
• libssl-dev # Only for Debian / Ubuntu based

Shortcut commands for installing pre-requisites:

# RHEL / CentOS Based:
yum install automake bzip2 cmake make g++ gcc git openssl openssl-devel patch

# Debian / Ubuntu Based:
apt-get install automake bzip2 cmake make g++ gcc git openssl libssl-dev patch

Go to the directory where you cloned the repo (or unpacked the tarball) and run:

make
sudo make install

Compilation time should be around a couple of minutes for the first time around. The configuration file will be found at /etc/proxysql.cnf afterwards.

Once you have installed it, please take a look at the document about running and operating the proxy.
