MariaDB is available on more Linux distributions than just the ones listed previously in this chapter, and even if no formal packages are provided, the MariaDB developers provide generic Linux binaries that work with many versions of Linux. Instructions on how to install and use the generic binaries are available from:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/installing-mariadb-binary-tarballs/

Before installing these generic packages, however, it is worth your while to look in your distribution's package manager to see if MariaDB is already there.
