About the SQLyog program » Installation and Configuration
Installation and upgrading
SQLyog is distributed with an automatic installer script. Just save it to your desktop and doubleclick the installation file. You will have an option to choose which folder on your system to install to.
To preserve settings etc. when upgrading just install over the old version. However if you want to keep your old version installed for a while (could be relevant when installing a beta-version!) then choose a new folder for the new version. You can then copy the sqlyog.ini file and all subfolders from the old installation folder to the new one.
When upgrading then please take the time to read the "version history" here or in the help file.
You may also need to replace your HTTP-tunneling file at your ISP(s). But SQLyog will display an error message if program version and tunneling file versions do not match.

Comment of jeremiah foster:
There is no mention of how to run the binary on linux. There is no man page, no packages for debian or Red Hat, i.e. a deb or a rpm. There is no documentation. These are serious drawbacks to widespread adoption of your tool. The very least that should happen is that you should build a man page.

Comment of Peter Laursen:
SQLyog is a Windows program. Windows programs do not have man pages! It does however run on Wine and is fully documented here: http://webyog.com/faq/31_71_en.html . To install a program in Wine you do not need RPM's or DEB's - you need (Windows) .exe's
