Installing Percona Toolkit

Percona maintains Ubuntu repos for their products. Below is process to install it quickly.

gpg -a --export CD2EFD2A | sudo apt-key add -

You can install percona server also at this point as it is part of package. We haven’t tried it yet, so it will be wise to not write anything about it.
