Installing MariaDB Windows ZIP Packages

Users need to run mariadb-install-db.exe, without parameters to create a data directory, e.g

C:\zip_unpack\directory> bin\mariadb-install-db.exe 

Then you can start server like this

C:\zip_unpack\directory> bin\mariadbd.exe --console

If you like to customize the server instance (data directory, install as service etc), please refer to mariadb-install-db.exe documentation
