Installing MariaDB Enterprise & Enterprise Cluster Binary Tarballs

In the instructions below, the filename is mariadb10.0.14linuxglibc_214x86_64.tar.gz, adjust to whatever the actual name is for the version of MariaDB Enterprise or MariaDB Enterprise Cluster you are using.

1. Create a ‘mysql’ group using a command similar to the following:
groupadd mysql

2. Create a ‘mysql’ user, using a command similar to the following:
useradd -r -g mysql mysql

3. Unpack the binary tar.gz file under /usr/local/ :
mv mariadb10.0.14linuxglibc_214x86_64.tar.gz /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/
tar zxf mariadb10.0.14linuxglibc_214x86_64.tar.gz

4. Symlink the directory to mysql (remove an existing link, if it exists):
ln -sv mariadb10.0.14linuxx86_64 mysql
5. Change to the /usr/local/mysql/ directory and install the default databases:
cd /usr/local/mysql/
./scripts/mysql_install_db user=mysql

6. Fix ownership of directories:

chown -R root:root .
chown -R mysql/ data

7. Add the bin directory to the system PATH:
if grep -q -e ‘/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH’ /etc/profile; then
echo “/etc/profile PATH entry already exists.”
else
echo ‘export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH’ >> /etc/profile
fi

8. Add the man directory to the system MANPATH:

if grep -q -e ‘/usr/local/mysql/man:$MANPATH’ /etc/profile; then
echo “/etc/profile MANPATH entry already exists.”
else
echo ‘export MANPATH=/usr/local/mysql/man:$MANPATH’ >> /etc/profile
fi

9. Source /etc/profile to apply the changes in our local session:
source /etc/profile

10. Replace any existing mysql init script with the current version:
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/mysql
update-rc.d mysql defaults

11. Start MariaDB with:

/etc/init.d/mysql start

12. Stop MariaDB with:

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

13. It is recommended you secure your new MariaDB Enterprise installation using the

mysql_secure_installation script to set default password and other settings
