1. Add the Official MariaDB Yum Repository

First off, we need to add the Office MariaDB Yum Repository.

Type in the following to add the MariaDB repository to your system:

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

Next, you need to copy and paste the following content into the editor:

[mariadb]

Type in CTRL-O to save, and CTRL-X to exit

2. Install MariaDB 10

Now you can install MariaDB 10, enter the following command:

yum -y install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

Once the install has completed, start MariaDB. The command is similar to how you would start MySQL:

service mysql start

Now check to make sure that MariaDB 10 is installed:

mysql -v

You should see output similar to the following:

Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

And you’re done!
