Do you need to install an old version of MariaDB on Ubuntu? Maybe you need to do some testing. Here’s how.
Visit https://mariadb.com/downloads/ and choose your package and OS. You’ll download a tar fie.
Extract the tar file with tar xf mariadb*.tar
.
Change your working directory to the extracted directory. cd mariadb*debs
Set up your apt repository to install this version. sudo ./setup_repository
Install this version. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install mariadb-server
Secure your installation. sudo mysql_secure_installation
And, that’s it.
Super helpful, thanks! Saved me heaps of time I’m sure!
