How to prevent MariaDB to install when installing MySQL-Server? - mysql

Is there any way I can install only MySQL-server? Or that MariaDB thing must be installed? Thanks in advance.

you go to http://repo.mysql.com/ and choose a version
I have debian 9 so I choose
wget http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.15-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.15-1_all.deb
Then you will be asked what you desire to install ... you say mysql Server
then you go as usual ...
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server
and the rest you know probably ...

Raspberry Pi4, mariadb install, mysql comand not found problem

HI Folks I have installed mariadb on a raspberry pi using pip3 and a wheel package. I don't have internet access on the pi so had to do a pip download with dependencies on another machine and copy it across. When I do a 'pip3 show mariadb' command, I get the following:
Version: 1.0.7

From this I assume that it installed ok but I can't seem to run it using the 'mysql -u root -p' command. I get a 'mysql: command not found' error. Do I have to edit my PATH and if so how can I find the path to the application? I have done a full file search for 'mysql' but only get a couple of files that I know what they are, but they are not the main application.
This is how I installed mariadb:
pi#PTGM2:~/mariadb-deps $ pip3 install mariadb-1.0.7-cp37-cp37m-linux_armv7l.whl -f ./ --no-index --no-deps

It seems I was just installing the connector, so I have managed to get the mariadb-server deb file, but when I try to install it, I get an error that it requires mariadb-server-10.3! I thought I was installing mariadb-server-10.3???
This is what I get:

I have tried every other solution that I could find on stack overflow and elsewhere on the Internet.
The solutions that i have tried include purging mysql,autoremove,autoclean,dist upgrade,reboot,removing /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql and almost every other thing that I could find related to this problem.It is not helping me, and now asking this question because no other answers were helping me.I am not worried of losing any DB that I might I have on my system.
I must add that since installing mysql was not working for me,I went with mongodb.It installed fine initally ,but now even removing and installing mongodb is givinf the same Error.
please try the following steps,
1.) First, update the apt package index by typing:
$sudo apt update
2.)Then install the MySQL package with the following command:
$sudo apt install mysql-server
3.)Once the installation is completed, the MySQL service will start automatically. To check whether the MySQL server is running, type:
$sudo systemctl status mysql

I know the same problem was reported here:

But the solution in that case seemed to be enabling the loopback interface. In my case, the loopback interface is working fine but that doesn't solve my problem.

I tried the following commands, repeatedly, with no result:
'sudo apt-get -f install'
'sudo apt-get autoremove'
'sudo apt-get autoclean'
'sudo apt-get update'
'sudo apt-get upgrade'
'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
The problem is in the preinstall script. It should install perfectly. You have some options here:
1) Open a bug at Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS). Make sure you are using the latest version.
2) Try to fix it by yourself.
If you decide to go with 2), you want to make this script verbose, so, edit a file name /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.5_5.5.52-0*.preinst
Then replace the initial line from:
#!/bin/sh
to
#!/bin/sh -x
Then, call # apt-get install -f and see the new log messages
Try with:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge <package>

MySQL 5.7 installation error `mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/lib/mysql/is_writable'`

I am trying to install MySQL 5.7 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Following are the steps I followed:

dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.7.2-1_all.deb
apt-get update
apt-get -y install mysql-server
All the steps run perfectly except for the last one. It gives me the following error:

Thanks in advance!
You need to make sure that your data directory is owned by the mysql user and belongs to the mysql group. I've forgotten to do this before as well when setting up MySQL. It should work if you do:
sudo chown mysql /var/lib/mysql
sudo chgrp mysql /var/lib/mysql
Here's the MySQL documentation.
Docker for Mac (native) makes this much easier than before, I had the permission issues using Toolbox.

An issue installing MySQL 5.5 on clean Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

Killing mysql processes and running
sudo apt-get install mysql-server --fix-missing --fix-broken
did the trick for me. Probably purge is needed before too, though.
