Installing MariaDB - Getting Started with MariaDB - page 11

After answering y , the installation will get going and we will be prompted to accept
the GPG signing key. We verify the fingerprint with y . Yum will then continue
downloading and installing MariaDB and will end with a Complete! message.
As a final step of the installation, we start MariaDB with the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
If everything has gone well, we will see output similar to the following:
[dbart@fedora18-amd64 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL..... SUCCESS!
MariaDB is now installed and running. Congratulations! Jump ahead to the After the
installation section or continue on to read about the MariaDB Package Security.
Jump ahead to the MariaDB package security section if you're interested in the
MariaDB signing keys or skip to the After the installation section if you want to start
using MariaDB right away.
Installing MariaDB on other Linux
distributions
MariaDB is also available on several other Linux distributions and even if no formal
packages are provided the MariaDB developers provide generic Linux binaries that
work with many versions of Linux. Instructions on how to install and use the generic
binaries are available at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-
binary-tarballs/ .
Before installing the binary packages, however, it is worth our while to look
in our distribution's package manager to see if MariaDB is already there. For
example, Mageia, Arch Linux, openSUSE, and others all include MariaDB in their
distributions' repositories. For those Linux distributions (including these three) that
the MariaDB developers are familiar with, installation instructions are provided
using the MariaDB repository configuration tool ( https://downloads.mariadb.
org/mariadb/repositories/ ).
