MariaDB is an open-source database management system, commonly installed as part of the popular LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP/Python/Perl) stack. It uses a relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) to manage its data. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL managed by the original MySQL developers. Itโs designed as a replacement for MySQL, uses some commands that reference mysql, and is the default package on CentOS 7.
In this tutorial, we will explain how to install the latest version of MariaDB on a CentOS 7 server. If you specifically need MySQL, see the How to Install MySQL on CentOS 7 guide. If youโre wondering about MySQL vs. MariaDB, MariaDB is the preferred package and should work seamlessly in place of MySQL.
