Tokudb has fractal tree engine which is mentioned to perform bettern than innodb in certain instances. In some scenarios you might want to run mysql-server which is patched with tokudb engine along with your current mysql server (for performance testing, evaluation etc).
A straightforward installation will mess up /var/lib/mysql, so follow these instructions to make sure that the server installation doesn't mess up existing installation.
1. Download and unzip the tokudb to /usr/local/
nareshv@fallenangel:~/Downloads$ sudo mv mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local$ sudo ln -s mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64 mysql
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local$ cd mysql
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql$ ls -l
total 80

2. Install the mysqlserver to /usr/local/mysql (not /var/lib/mysql)
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql$ sudo -u mysql ./scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --basedir=/usr/local/mysql

OK
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h fallenangel password 'new-password'
Alternatively you can run:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr/local/mysql ; /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl
Please report any problems with the /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysqlbug script!
3. Create a new startup script to launch mysqld on port 3307
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ sudo vi run.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/env MYSQL_HOME=/usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld --user=mysql \
--pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/mysqld.pid \
--socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysqld.sock \
--port=3307 \
--basedir=/usr/local/mysql \
--datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
--lc-messages-dir=/usr/local/mysql/share \
--tmpdir=/tmp \
--skip-external-locking \
--bind-address=127.0.0.1 \
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$
4. Run the mysql server in another terminal as root user
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ sudo ./run.sh
5. Connect and check if mysql is available on 3307 / 127.0.0.1
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307
