Answer 1

Hwy @Mike, install the latest stable version of MariaDB from its official website. Follow these steps:

Select the Operating system you wish to install this on.

Unzip the downloaded archive from MariaDB, rename the folder to MariaDB and move it to C:\Server\bin\.

Move the C:\Server\bin\mariadb\data\ folder to the C:\Server\data\DB\ folder.

In the C:\Server\bin\mariadb\ folder creates my.cnf file and copy into it:

[mysqld]
datadir="c:/Server/data/DB/data/"

To install and lunch the service, run the following commands:

C:\Server\bin\mariadb\bin\mysqld --install
net start mysql
