The Latest Packages

Tarballs, binaries (Linux, Solaris, and Windows), and packages for some Linux distributions are available at mariadb.com/downloads/ or mariadb.org/download/ (which also contains a PDF version of the MariaDB Server documentation).

We hope that interested community package maintainers will step forward, as others already have, to build packages for their distributions. We ask for strict adherence to your packaging system's best practices and invite you to create a bug report if our project impedes this in any way.

Instructions how to install the packages can be found here.

Distributions Which Include MariaDB

Pre-Release Binaries

Binaries from our Buildbot system (see also the Buildbot page), are available at http://hasky.askmonty.org/archive. They are not suitable for use in production systems but may be of use for debugging.

Once at the above URL you will need to click on the MariaDB tree you are interested in, and then the build. The build number corresponds to the tarbuildnum variable in Buildbot.

For example, if you were interested in the bsd9-64 build of the MariaDB 5.5 tree, revision 3497, the tarbuildnum is listed in the "Build Properties" table of the Buildbot build report. In this case, the value is "2434".

Getting the Source

You can find all the source code at https://github.com/MariaDB/server

To retrieve the code, the Git source control software offers the path of least resistance. If you are unfamiliar with git, please refer to the git documentation for an understanding of version control with git.

For instructions on creating a local branch of MariaDB, see the Getting the MariaDB Source Code page.

See the Generic Build Instructions page for general instructions on compiling MariaDB from the source. The source page has links to platform and distribution-specific information, including information on how we build the release packages.
