Retrieve Download Token

MariaDB Corporation provides package repositories for CentOS / RHEL (YUM) and Debian / Ubuntu (APT). A download token is required to access the MariaDB Enterprise Repository.

Customer Download Tokens are customer-specific and are available through the MariaDB Customer Portal.

To retrieve the token for your account:

1. Navigate to https://customers.mariadb.com/downloads/token/

2. Log in.

3. Copy the Customer Download Token.

Substitute your token for CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN when configuring the package repositories.

Set Up Repository

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, install the prerequisites for downloading the software from the Web. Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install curl

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

$ sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure package repositories and specify Enterprise Server:

$ curl -LsSO https://dlm.mariadb.com/enterprise-release-helpers/mariadb_es_repo_setup

$ echo "${checksum}  mariadb_es_repo_setup" \
       | sha256sum -c -

$ chmod +x mariadb_es_repo_setup

$ sudo ./mariadb_es_repo_setup --token="CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN" --apply \
      --skip-maxscale \
      --skip-tools \
      --mariadb-server-version="11.4"

Checksums of the various releases of the mariadb_es_repo_setup script can be found in the Versions section at the bottom of the MariaDB Package Repository Setup and Usage page. Substitute ${checksum} in the example above with the latest checksum.

$ sudo yum install epel-release

$ sudo yum install jemalloc

Install of Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 (APT):

$ sudo apt install libjemalloc2

Install on Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04 (APT):
