The second-order elastic constants (SOECs) and third-order elastic constants (TOECs) of superconducting MgB2 are investigated by first principles methods combined with homogeneous deformation theory. The Anderson-Grüneisen parameter is obtained from the SOECs and TOECs. The obtained value is 2.13, that is in consistent with the experimental result. The effective elastic constants and Debye temperature are also predicted from SOECs and TOECs, which increase with the increasing of pressure.
