mysql_install_db

mysql_install_db initializes the MariaDB data directory and creates the system tables in the mysql database.

From MariaDB 10.5, the client is called mariadb-install-db. It can still be accessed under its original mysql_install_db name via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

See mariadb-install-db for details.
