----- MySQLTuner-perl -----

MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that allows you to review a MySQL installation quickly and make adjustments to increase performance and stability. 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.
