Tarballs, binaries (Linux, Solaris, and Windows), and packages for some Linux
distributions are available at mariadb.com/downloads/ or mariadb.org/download/ (which also contains a PDF version of the MariaDB Server documentation).
We hope that interested community package maintainers will step forward, as
others already have, to build packages for their distributions. We ask for
strict adherence to your packaging system's best practices and invite you to
create a bug report if our project impedes this in
any way.
Instructions how to install the packages can be found here.
Distributions Which Include MariaDB
Most distributions already include MariaDB. See .
Pre-Release Binaries
Binaries from our system (see also
the page), are available at . They are not suitable for use in
production systems but may be of use for debugging.
Once at the above URL you will need to click on the MariaDB tree you are
interested in, and then the build. The build number corresponds to thetarbuildnum variable in Buildbot.
For example, if you were interested in the bsd9-64 build of the
tree, revision 3497, the tarbuildnum is listed in the "Build Properties"
table of the .
In this case, the value is "2434".
Getting the Source
You can find all the source code at
To retrieve the code, the source control software offers
the path of least resistance. If you are unfamiliar with git, please refer to
the for an understanding
of version control with git.
For instructions on creating a local branch of MariaDB, see the page.
See the page for
general instructions on compiling MariaDB from the source.
The page has links to platform and distribution-specific
information, including information on how we build the release packages.
