Ahaaaaaaa! I understand it now!
The "mariadb-dump" is already installed. On my system, MariaDB is installed to "/usr/local/mysql".
And if i run
This will start the "mariadb-dump". I did not know it's inside the installation directory!
So it looks like I do not need to reinstall anything, which is nice.
By the way, I just wonder: If I want to completely uninstall/reinstall MariaDB in the future after building manually, what is the best way?
I just do:
<<code>>sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql <</code>Or I need to do something else, to make a complete uninstall?
Thank you so much!
I think your "rm -rf" should be fine. cmake --install did not create anything outside of that directory.
You need to decide where you'll create data directory with mariadb-install-db, and then decide whether to remove or retain when you uninstall like that, there is no automatisms for that, with "cmake --install"
Thank you so much Vladislav, you helped me a lot! I was trying to figure out for 8 hours how to include "mariadb-dump" in the installation. It turns out I already had it - haha!
Now I will go continue working on my script to automate database backups with it. I will also try "mariabackup" and compare it, but I think it will be too large for my email attachment.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
