no mysql workbench in ubuntu 12.04 software center

  • 772

I have already installed MySQL workbench from the Software Center on a recent installation of Ubuntu 12.10 (32 bit) with no problems. Since then, I just installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS on another machine (64 bit) and I can't find it in the software center.

Is there a way I can enable the repositories to make it available to me? I know it exists for 12.10 so I am assuming it is available for 12.04.

Thanks for any input!

UPDATE

I switch my server in the software sources GUI (from Ubuntu Software Center go to Edit -> Software Sources..)

I was set to the Spain server (since I am in Spain) and I switched it to the Main Server, then did apt-get update and i was able to install with apt-get after that.

  1. In precise (12.04), quantal (12.10), and raring (13.04), the mysql-workbench package is in universe, so:

    1. Open the "Software Sources" app, a.k.a. software-properties-gtk
    2. Ensure the "Community maintained free and open-source software" checkbox is checked
    3. Refresh your packages, either through a Refresh button or through sudo apt-get update
    4. Install it via your favorite package management app, or sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench

  2. MySQL Workbench might not be in the repositories for 12.04.

    However, you can download and install a .deb from Oracle, here, just make sure you choose the correct debian package under "Ubuntu Linux" option for the operating systems.
