Installing MariaDB Server on Mac OS X with Homebrew

Posted on junio 11, 2020 by

Back in 2016, we blogged about deploying MariaDB 10.1.16 on Mac OS X with Homebrew. Homebrew now includes MariaDB 10.4, 10.3, 10.2, and 10.1 for macOS. We’ve refreshed this blog to reflect the latest technology. If you need the old blog, you can find it here.

1. Install Xcode

Run xcode-select --install.

$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools

2. Install Homebrew

Run /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)".

$  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
==> This script will install:
/usr/local/bin/brew

/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/brew
/usr/local/Homebrew
==> The following new directories will be created:
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/Caskroom

Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:
  https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics
No analytics data has been sent yet (or will be during this `install` run).

==> Next steps:
- Run `brew help` to get started
- Further documentation: 
    https://docs.brew.sh

3. Check Homebrew

Run brew doctor. Follow on-screen instructions to fix warnings if necessary.

$ brew doctor
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!
 
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  gettext
  git
 
Warning: Some installed formulae are missing dependencies.
You should `brew install` the missing dependencies:
  brew install openssl@1.1
 
Run `brew missing` for more details.
$ brew link gettext git

  rm '/usr/local/bin/git'
 
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite git
 
To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite --dry-run git
 
...

4. Update Homebrew

Run brew update.

$ brew update
Already up-to-date.

5. Verify MariaDB version in Homebrew repo

Run brew info mariadb.

$ brew info mariadb
mariadb: stable 10.4.13 (bottled)
Drop-in replacement for MySQL

MariaDB Foundation

Conflicts with:
mariadb-connector-c (because both install plugins)
mysql (because mariadb, mysql, and percona install the same binaries)
mytop (because both install `mytop` binaries)
percona-server (because mariadb, mysql, and percona install the same binaries)
/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.2.14 (641 files, 168.6MB)
Poured from bottle on 2018-04-30 at 11:34:15
/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.3.10 (652 files, 173.3MB) *
Built from source on 2018-10-12 at 07:16:37
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mariadb.rb
==> Dependencies
Build: cmake ✘, pkg-config ✘
Required: groonga ✘, openssl@1.1 ✔
==> Caveats
A "/etc/my.cnf" from another install may interfere with a Homebrew-built
server starting up correctly.

MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default

To have launchd start mariadb now and restart at login:
brew services start mariadb
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mysql.server start

7. Run the database installer

Run mysql_install_db. Follow on-screen instructions to upgrade if necessary to upgrade a previously installed version.

$ mysql_install_db
WARNING: The host 'robs-MacBook-Pro-2.local' could not be looked up with /usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.4.13/bin/resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
with this binary MariaDB version. The MariaDB daemon, mysqld, should work normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work.
This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames
when specifying MariaDB privileges !
mysql.user table already exists!
Run mysql_upgrade, not mysql_install_db
 
$ mysql_upgrade
Phase 1/7: Checking and upgrading mysql database
Processing databases
...
Phase 7/7: Running 'FLUSH PRIVILEGES'
OK

8. Start MariaDB

Run mysql.server start.

$ mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
. SUCCESS!

9. Secure the installation

If you are installing MariaDB 10.4.6 or later:
Run mariadb-secure-installation.
If you are installing an earlier version of MariaDB:
Run mysql_secure_installation.

NOTE: If you are unsure about using unix_socket, do not enable it when asked.
NOTE: Set a root password even if the on-screen instructions tell you it is safe not to do so.

$ mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.
 
Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
OK, successfully used password, moving on
 
Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
Enable unix_socket authentication? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
 
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
 
Change the root password? [Y/n] y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully! 
 
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a production environment.
 
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
 
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
 
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
 
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed before moving into a production environment.
 
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!
 
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately.
 
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
 
Cleaning up...
 
All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
 
Thanks for using MariaDB!

10. Connect to MariaDB

Run mariadb -u root -p.

If you’ve installed an older version of mariadb you may need to use “mysql -u root -p” in the above command.

$ mariadb -u root -p 
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
