There are other settings that we can make through the installer. All of them
can be changed later by editing the
my.ini

Configuring MariaDB

away.
9. If our version of Windows has User Account Control enabled, there will be
a pop-up during the installation asking if we want to allow the installer to
install MariaDB. For obvious reasons, click on
Yes
.
10. After the installation completes, there will be a MariaDB folder added to the
start menu. Under this will be various links, including one to the MySQL

Chapter 5
,
Using MariaDB
).
If we already have an older version of MariaDB or MySQL running
on our machine, we will be prompted to upgrade the data files for the
version we are installing, it is highly recommended that we do so.
