Installing workbench on ubuntu

Question

I am trying to install MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 20.04, and I run these commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install mysql-workbench

the error is:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mysql-workbench

I used this way to install before but now I do not know what to do, please help, I am new in Ubuntu.

Answer 1

try this:

download snapd service using apt-get

sudo apt-get install snapd

after that install workbench

sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

when it's done You need to enter a command to allow this package to access the service. The command is:

sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service :password-manager-service

Answer 2

You have to add the repository in your source.list file:

echo "deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ eoan mysql-tools" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list

then:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install mysql-workbench-community

Answer 3

MySQL has updated their repository for Focal Fossa and removed the repository for Eoan Ermine. To install MySQL Workbench on 20.04, either download the Workbench for 20.04 from MySQL archives or follow the alternate method mentioned below replacing eoan with focal.
