Mariadb installation on Amazon linux 2

Question

Can someone provide steps to install mariadb on amazon linux 2? I am pretty new in linux, so a little detail will be greatly appreciated. I have seen few links to install maria db on centOs but not sure if the same works for Amazon linux 2

Answer 1

Here you go:

1. Install and Start MariaDB

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y mariadb-server
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

2. Secure DB server. Select the relevant option's during command run.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

But I recommend you to install MariaDB from official repo for latest version by following instructions in this link.
