The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

mariadb-install-db.exe - defaults-file - unknown variable

Hi. I am just seeking some advise or assistance with initialising a new database data folder for a new MariaDB installation. I am referring to this site for information, and am just stuck as one of the documented parameters is not working for me.

Web link reference: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mysql_install_db/

The command I am running is: mariadb-install-db.exe --defaults-file="C:\Temp\my.ini"

I then get this error: unknown variable 'defaults-file=C:\Temp\my.ini'

I am running this command in CMD on a Windows 10 PC.

Hoping to get advice on what I am missing here to achieve initialising a new server install with a custom my.ini file.
