This could be because they are no longer needed, or because they were for features or storage engines that have been removed from MariaDB. Some examples of removed RPMs are: | Package Name | Description | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | MariaDB-compat | Old shared client libraries, removed in MariaDB 11.4 as they were no longer needed | | MariaDB-tokudb-engine | The TokuDB storage engine. It was disabled in MariaDB 10.5 and removed in MariaDB 10.6 | ## Installing RPM Packages Preferably, you should install MariaDB RPM packages using the package manager\ of your Linux distribution, for example `yum` or`zypper`. But you can also use the lower-level `rpm` tool. ## Actions Performed by RPM Packages ### Users and Groups Created When the `aria-server` RPM package is installed, it will create a user and group named `mysql`, if it does not already exist. ## See Also {% @marketo/form formId="4316" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
