To install MariaDB on a Linux system, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the terminal and type the following command to update the software package list:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    sudo apt update\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Install the MariaDB server and client software packages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. After the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service and configure it to start automatically on boot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        sudo systemctl start mariadb\r\nsudo systemctl enable mariadb\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Execute security scripts to strengthen the installation of MariaDB.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          sudo mysql_secure_installation\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          Set a password as per the prompts, delete the test database, and prohibit remote root login.<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. Login to the MariaDB database using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            sudo mysql -u root -p\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
