     sudo apt-get install -y git g++ cmake bison libncurses5-dev
   • On Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS run:
     sudo yum install git g++ cmake bison ncurses-devel

2. Clone this repo:
   git clone git@github.com:google/mysql-protobuf.git

3. Go to mysql-protobuf folder and create a new bin folder:
   cd mysql-protobuf && mkdir bin && cd bin

4. Compile the project. For that, you have to run cmake and then make:
   cmake .. -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=~/boost -DENABLE_DOWNLOADS=1 && make -j8

5. Create a folder where you'll run mysqld:
   mkdir -p ~/mysql-run && cd ~/mysql-run

6. Copy mysqld to this folder:
   cp /path/to/mysql-protobuf/bin/sql/mysqld .

7. Copy errmsg.sys file to share folder:
   mkdir -p share && cp /path/to/mysql-protobuf/bin/sql/share/english/errmsg.sys share/

8. Create a tmpdir folder:
   mkdir -p tmpdir

9. Initialize mysqld:
   ./mysqld --initialize-insecure --pid-file=./mysql.pid --basedir=. --datadir=./datadir --tmpdir=$HOME/mysql-run/tmpdir --socket=$HOME/mysql-run/mysqld.sock

10. Run mysqld:
    ./mysqld --pid-file=./mysql.pid --basedir=. --datadir=./datadir --tmpdir=$HOME/mysql-run/tmpdir --socket=$HOME/mysql-run/mysqld.sock

11. Open another terminal and connect to mysqld:
    /path/to/mysql-protobuf/bin/client/mysql -u root -S ~/mysql-run/mysqld.sock
