64bit gui version and mysql

Is there a secret to getting mysql to work?
Do I need to install any libraries first?

what is and what is not working for you?
the more information you can provide the better

This what I get when I press the connect button

ERROR: [FireDAC][Phys][MySQL]-314. Cannot load vendor library [libmysqlclient.so or libmysqld.so]. Hint: check it is in the PATH or application EXE directories, and has x64 bitness. at time/date 8:09:19 PM 3/13/18

have you installed mysql client?

Yes. After installing, I get same error

the problem then is linux dependency hell
try copying the libmysqlclient.so or libmysqld.so to where the cronmysql program is
or to
/usr/local/lib/ and /usr/lib/

no joy, same error
