The current configuration variables and status data is retrieved and presented in a brief format along with some basic performance suggestions. + +*WARNING* +It is extremely important for you to fully understand each change you make to a MySQL database server. If you don't understand portions of the script's output, or if you don't understand the recommendations, you should consult a knowledgeable DBA or even a system administrator that you trust. Always test your changes on staging environments, and always keep in mind that improvements in one area can negatively affect MySQL in other areas. + +----- Download/Installation ----- + +You can download the entire repository by using 'git clone' followed by the cloning URL above. The simplest and shortest method is: + + wget mysqltuner.pl + perl mysqltuner.pl + +Of course, you can add the execute bit (chmod +x mysqltuner.pl) so you can execute it without calling perl directly. \ No newline at end of file
