Install MariaDB on CentOS 7

I had a bit of a hassle to install MariaDB on CentOS. After Googling it a bit, I found this link at Digital Ocean. I will detail what I did, but it's almos all there.

• yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb
• systemctl start mariadb.service
• systemctl enable mariadb.service
• mysql_secure_installation

At the last step you can basically type enter on all options, except on the root password setting that you need to provide.

Cheers!
