I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and already installed mysql 5.6.16 on it. I have downloaded mysql workbench deb file (mysql-workbench-community-6.0.9-1ubu1310-amd64) from mysql web site. Now when I run this deb file with Ubuntu Software Center it is automatically install mysql 5.5 in system.

How can I install mysql workbench only??

Thanks in advance

  • It installs because of dependencies. If you want to install only that package you have downloaded, use command sudo dpkg -i --force-all package.deb. This may lead you to erroneous configuration, so be careful.

Insatll mysql-workbench-community-6.0.9-1ubu1310-amd64.deb file without installing mysql5.5 by running the below command on terminal,

sudo dpkg --force-all -i  mysql-workbench-community-6.0.9-1ubu1310-amd64.deb

The above command will force install the mysql-workbench.deb file without installing it's dependencies.
