Steps to install MySQL Workbench on Debian 9
First, let’s download MySQL Workbench DEB file for Debian. Please navigate to this download page and make sure you select the Ubuntu Linux from the Operating System list. Make sure you download the Ubuntu 16.04 version.
Install the DEB package.
Once you download the file, you should have a file called: mysql-workbench-community-6.3.10-1ubuntu16.04-amd64.deb
Open Terminal and then execute this command to install the package
sudo -i dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community-6.3.10-1ubuntu16.04-amd64.deb
Mostly, you will end up with the following errors:
