Installing Using an RPM Package

For details about the offline installation, see Offline Installation. For details about the online installation, see Online Installation.

Offline Installation

The offline installation uses MariaDB 10.3.9 as an example. You can refer to this section when installing MariaDB of other versions.

**Table 1** RPM package URLs
Version	RPM Package URL
MariaDB 10.3.8 (CentOS 7.6)	https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/kunpeng/yum/el/7/aarch64/Packages/database/mariadb-10.3.8-1.el7.aarch64.rpm

Download the RPM package to the /home directory on the server.

        
             cd /home
wget  https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/kunpeng/yum/el/8/aarch64/Packages/database/mariadb-10.3.9-1.el8.aarch64.rpm --no-check-certificate

Go to the /home directory and install MariaDB 10.3.9.

        
             cd /home
rpm -ivh mariadb-10.3.9-1.el8.aarch64.rpm

If MariaDB fails to be installed and the message "error: Failed dependencies: (mariadb >= 3:10.3.27 if mariadb) is needed by (installed) mariadb-connector-c-3.1.11-2.el8_3.aarch64" is displayed, run the following command to uninstall mariadb-connector-c-3.1.11-2.el8_3.aarch64 and reinstall MariaDB:

          
               yum -y remove mariadb-connector-c-3.1.11-2.el8_3.aarch64

Online Installation

The online installation uses MariaDB 10.3.8 as an example. You can refer to this section when installing MariaDB of other versions.

Configure the yum source.

Back up the original yum repository files and create a repo directory.

          
               mv /etc/yum.repos.d/ /etc/yum.repos.d-bak
mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d

Write the new configuration to the repo file:

For CentOS 7.6:

            
                 echo -e "[kunpeng]\nname=CentOS-kunpeng - Base - mirrors.huaweicloud.com\nbaseurl=https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/kunpeng/yum/el/7/aarch64/\ngpgcheck=0\nenabled=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base-kunpeng.repo

For CentOS 8.1:

echo -e "[kunpeng]\nname=CentOS-kunpeng - Base - mirrors.huaweicloud.com\nbaseurl=https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/kunpeng/yum/el/8/aarch64/\ngpgcheck=0\nenabled=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base-kunpeng.repo

Check whether the new configuration is successfully written to the repo file in step 1.b:

          
               cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base-kunpeng.repo

If the command output is the same as the written content in 1.b, the operation is successful.

Make the yum source take effect.
```
yum clean all
yum makecache
```

Install the RPM package.

        
             yum -y install mariadb-10.3.8-1.el7.aarch64 --enablerepo=kunpeng
