sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench

This will install mysql workbench ONLY on debian. Both wheezy and Jessie. Also works on ubuntu.

A common method is to use the operating system's package system. For Debian, MySQL recommends installing the official APT repository and then use apt-get as you would normally. The official repositories contain most MySQL products and typically they are newer versions than the versions provided by vendors such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and so on.

So, for Debian, download the appropriate APT file and then execute something like the following (The mysql-apt-config_0.3.5-1debian8_all.deb file name that you download might be different, so adjust that accordingly):

cd ~/Downloads sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.3.5-1debian8_all.deb sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench-community

You might notice that both mysql-workbench and mysql-workbench-community packages will be available via apt-get, but mysql-workbench-community is the package you want. Use "apt-cache show {insert package name here}" on both packages to see the difference.

Installing the package file (mysql-apt-config_0.3.5-1debian8_all.deb above) is a one time deal, so feel free to skip this step when updating Workbench or installing other MySQL products.
