install mysql specific version (Unable to locate package)

I have installed MySQL using below command in ubuntu 14.04

apt-get install mysql-server

now checked the version, it automatically install the latest version

mysql --version

display

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.18, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

But I need to install exact version of MySQL 5.7.17 so tried to run

 apt-get install mysql-client-5.7.17 mysql-client-core-5.7.17

but it gives the error as below

Reading state information... Done  
E: Unable to locate package-client-5.7.17  
E: Couldn't find any package by regex-client-5.7.17'  
E: Unable to locate package mysql-client-core-5.7.17  
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'mysql-client-core-5.7.17'

How can I do this and do I need to install both mysql-client and mysql-server separately?

EDIT

Also tried to download specific version using wget

wget https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gpg/?file=mysql-community-source_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_i386.deb

but it's not downloaded; see the terminal output

Solution 1:

Here how I solved this

  1. Remove all MySQL instances from system

    sudo -i  
    service mysql stop  #or mysqld 
    killall -9 mysql    #or mysqld
    apt-get remove --purge mysql-client  
    apt-get remove --purge mysql-server  
    apt-get remove --purge mysql-common  
    
    # delete log and configuration files 
    rm -rf /var/lib/mysql  
    rm -rf /var/log/mysql
    rm -rf /etc/mysql
    
  2. Now download below .deb files from the MySQL archive

    ├── mysql-client_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
    ├── mysql-common_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
    ├── mysql-community-client_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
    ├── mysql-community-server_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
    ├── mysql-server_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
    ├── mysql-server_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
    └── mysql-testsuite_5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb

  3. Install them in the below order

    dpkg -i mysql-common_5.7.9-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb  
    dpkg -i mysql-community-client_5.7.9-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb  
    dpkg -i mysql-client_5.7.9-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb  
    dpkg -i mysql-community-server_5.7.9-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb  
    dpkg -i mysql-server_5.7.9-1ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb  
    

Note: install libmecab2 if any error comes while installing above package

sudo apt-get install libmecab2

this will prompt to set root password for mysql; set as you wish

now check

mysql-version

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.17, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
