Attempted to install memSQL on Fedora 27 and can’t get past step 1

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://release.memsql.com/production/rpm/x86_64/repodata/memsql.repo

Yum-utils package has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
See ‘man yum2dnf’ for more information.

Per our system-requirements documentation we only support centos/rhel officially. If you want to install MemSQL software on Fedora we recommend downloading the RPM directly rather than using the Yum repo. We are still finishing our detailed “manual install docs” which outlines how to get RPM’s directly - so in the meantime here are the basic instructions:

You can lookup the latest release of any MemSQL product from our release index:

$ curl https://release.memsql.com/production/index/memsqlserver/latest.json
{                         
  "releaseID": "8a971bcf-025a-43ba-b463-f380be90f2e5",
  "version": "6.7.10",
  "commit": "e69057eaa425030f6b6d9036d77c55a56e017d70",
  "packages": {
    "memsql-server-deb": {
      "Path": "production/debian/pool/memsql-server_6.7.10_e69057eaa4_amd64.deb",
      "Sha256Sum": "3cb8e9656855d521e20d782eab281b0817e53621182f11566e47398c7928b952"
    },
    "memsql-server-rpm": {
      "Path": "production/rpm/x86_64/memsql-server-6.7.10-e69057eaa4.x86_64.rpm",
      "Sha256Sum": "8fbb915966e7ca8e75389caa8f81b5089238c7a21b58323aaa5bb5fe70052968"
    },
    "memsql-server-tar": {
      "Path": "production/tar/x86_64/memsql-server-6.7.10-e69057eaa4.x86_64.tar.gz",
      "Sha256Sum": "22e40b5a8a9e2332b814a0005c8d96e8f71875ffadd455a53ba72b2f243c2a73"
    },
    "memsql-symbols-tar": {
      "Path": "production/tar/x86_64/memsql-symbols-6.7.10-e69057eaa4.x86_64.tar.gz",
      "Sha256Sum": "afb929c2f7d457e42930c0e04671afd1d85be8b66d83324cf4b7fa8ba5b7a69f"
    }
  }
}

From here just take the relative path to the package you want and append it to the release base url:

For example, if you want to install the rpm you would take the path production/rpm/x86_64/memsql-server-6.7.10-e69057eaa4.x86_64.rpm and append it to https://release.memsql.com to get the final url:
https://release.memsql.com/production/rpm/x86_64/memsql-server-6.7.10-e69057eaa4.x86_64.rpm

Other products can be retrieved by replacing the word memsqlserver in the index url with one of:
memsqlstudio, memsqltoolbox, memsqlclient
