To find your MySQL plugin directory run the following query in MySQL:

show variables like 'plugin_dir';

Mine is /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ and I have used that in the examples below. It can be changed in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file with the line in the mysqld section:

[mysqld]
plugin_dir=/usr/lib/mysql/plugin

1. sudo cp lib_mysqludf_ssdeep.so /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/
2. mysql -u root -p < src/installdb.sql
3. Done.

Uninstall
