| 3 | In general you should follow the instructions for [[installing MySQL>>InstallationMySQL]] since MariaDB is supposed to be a drop-in replacment for MySQL. | ||

| 5 | Here are the differences with the MySQL installation: | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | * Download and install [[MariaDB>>https://mariadb.org/]], using a [[supported version>>dev:Community.DatabaseSupportStrategy]] | ||
| 8 | * You need to have the MariaDB JDBC Driver JAR (named ##mariadb-java-client-*.jar##) installed in XWiki's WAR file. If this file isn't present in XWiki's ##WEB-INF/lib## directory you'll need to download it and copy it there. You can download it from the [[MariaDB Connector/J Driver page>>https://mariadb.com/kb/en/about-mariadb-connector-j/]] or directly from the [[Maven Central Repository>>https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.mariadb.jdbc/mariadb-java-client]]. | ||
| 9 | * You need to tell XWiki to use MariaDB. To do this, edit the ##WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml## file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and replace the matching properties with the following ones:((( | ||
| 10 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 11 | <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mariadb://localhost/xwiki?useSSL=false</property> | ||
| 12 | <property name="connection.username">xwiki</property> | ||
| 13 | <property name="connection.password">xwiki</property> | ||
| 14 | <property name="connection.driver_class">org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver</property> | ||
| 15 | <property name="connection.useUnicode">true</property> | ||
| 16 | <property name="connection.characterEncoding">UTF-8</property> | ||
| 17 | {{/code}} | ||
