Install Mysql on UBUNTU

MySQL Workbench can be easily installed on Ubuntu/Gnome. Just download the binary .deb file from the MySQL web site for workbench (currently named mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.16-1_i386.deb), save it to your home directory. Then run:

sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0 libzip1
sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.16-1_i386.deb (adapt the name accordingly)

Then, you have MySQL Workbench listed under "Applications > Programming".
