Installing MemSQL on Linux can be done using MemSQL’s own management and administration tools. This tutorial shows you how to create a new MemSQL cluster on a single host machine using MemSQL tools, and how to connect the cluster to our monitoring, profiling, and debugging tool, MemSQL Studio.

Before You Begin

• You must have a Linux machine (or a virtual machine with Linux installed). A 64-bit distribution of RHEL/CentOS 6 (or Debian 8) and higher are required.

• You must have a License key copied from the MemSQL Customer Portal.

• You must have a non-root user with sudo privileges available on the host machine

  Note The username memsql should be considered a reserved username and not used. It is created for system use during the installation and deployment process.
