openSUSE includes MariaDB in their repositories. To install MariaDB, simply issue the following command in a terminal:

zypper install mariadb

We also offer repositories for openSUSE. For openSUSE, copy and paste the following into a file under /etc/zypp/repos.d/ (we suggest naming the file mariadb.repo or something similar).

# MariaDB 10.1 openSUSE repository list - created 2016-01-18 04:56 UTC

# http://mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/

[mariadb]

name = MariaDB

baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/opensuse13-amd64

gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB

gpgcheck=1

Once the file is in place, install MariaDB with:

zypper install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

The first time you install you will be prompted to accept the MariaDB signing key. The id of this key is: 'CBCB082A1BB943DB'. Accept it to continue.

You will also be prompted about a conflict between openSUSE's own MariaDB 5.5 client package and the MariaDB client package. Choose the solution that does not install the mariadb-client-5.5.* package. MariaDB packages from mariadb.org are named like MariaDB-server and MariaDB-client, MariaDB packages in the openSUSE repositories are named like mariadb-server, mariadb-client.

After the installation finishes, start MariaDB with:

sudo service mysql start
