This guide will discuss the steps required to install MariaDB 10.4 on Fedora 31/30/29. MariaDB is a widely used relational database server that is community-developed, forked from MySQL relational database management system.
MariaDB is an open-source and free software released under the General Public License version 2. The latest stable release as of this article writing is version 10.4. The MariaDB packages are distributed as binaries on mariadb.org. But you also have an option to build it from source should you choose to do so.
So let’s start to install MariaDB 10.4 on Fedora 31/30/29.
Step 1: Update Fedora machine
Let’s make sure we’re running the latest versions of Fedora packages in our system.
sudo dnf -y updateReboot the server after upgrade.
sudo systemctl rebootStep 2: Add MariaDB RPM repository
Now add the MariaDB RPM repository to your system.
Fedora 31/30:
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mariad.repo<<EOF
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.4/fedora30-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
EOFFedora 29:
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mariad.repo<<EOF
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.4/fedora29-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
EOFStep 3: Install MariaDB 10.4 on Fedora 31/30/29
Now install MariaDB 10.4 on Fedora 31/30/29 Linux system.
sudo dnf -y install MariaDB-serverBelow is the dependency tree and list of packages to be installed.

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.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] Y
Enabled successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
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!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
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!Use the root user and password set to access MariaDB shell:
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
