Hi, I already finished the installation shown in Maria's db site. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/mariadb/repo/10.0/debian wheezy main' Once the key is imported and the repository added you can install MariaDB with: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mariadb-server ... I was looking instructions on how to proceed the post-installation... for example, creating the first database and permissions... I found some info in mysql site, but I'm not sure if applies... Does mariadb is called with "mysql" command or "mariadb" My vps is running debian 7 64 bits Thanks
