6.1. MySQL Proxy Supported Platforms

MySQL Proxy is currently available as a pre-compiled binary for the following platforms:

  • Linux (including RedHat, Fedora, Debian, SuSE) and derivatives

  • Mac OS X

  • FreeBSD

  • IBM AIX

  • Sun Solaris

  • Microsoft Windows (including Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008)

    Note

    You must have the .NET Framework 1.1 or higher installed.

Other Unix/Linux platforms not listed should be compatible by using the source package and building MySQL Proxy locally.

System requirements for the MySQL Proxy application are the same as the main MySQL server. Currently MySQL Proxy is compatible only with MySQL 5.0.1 and later. MySQL Proxy is provided as a standalone, statically linked binary. You do not need to have MySQL or Lua installed.
