The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

Installing MariaDB Windows ZIP Packages

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

Users need to run mysql_install_db.exe, without parameters to create a data directory, e.g

C:\zip_unpack\directory> bin\mysqld_install_db.exe

Then you can start server like this

C:\zip_unpack\directory> bin\mysqld.exe --console

For very old distributions (10.3 and earlier), a prebuilt data directory is already provided.

If you like to customize the server instance (data directory, install as service etc), please refer to mysql_install_db.exe documentation
