MySQL Workbench (Linux)

What is MySQL Workbench ?

MySQL Workbench is a cross-platform, visual database design tool developed by MySQL. It is the highly anticipated successor application of the DBDesigner4 project. MySQL Workbench will be available as a native GUI tool on Window, Linux and OS X.

For Ubuntu (8.04) users i made this install script (run as root):

#!/bin/bash
# This script tested only on Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bits)
# You need some extra libs to run MySQL Workbench
sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0 libzip1 libmysqlclient15off
# Download MySQL Workbench Ubuntu 8.04 Bin Files
wget -c ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz
# Download the md5 checksum file
wget -c ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz.md5
# Check md5sum
real=`md5sum mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz | awk '{ print $1 }'`
confirm=`cat mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz.md5 | awk '{ print $1 }'`
if [ "$real" = "$confirm" ]
then
	# Extract (/usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/lib/mysql-workbench/ /usr/local/share/mysql-workbench/)
	tar xvzf mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha-ubuntu8-i386.tar.gz -C /
else
	echo "Wrong MD5, run the script again."
fi

Note: MySQL Workbench is alpha on Linux
