https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-package-repository-setup-and-usage/

To setup mariadb repo, run

curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash

I was expecting it ask me what version of MariaDB i like to setup. But it just setup MariaDB 10.4. I wanted to upgrade MariaDB to version 10.2, anyway i did upgrade to 10.4 and everything worked fine.

If you need a speicfic version, you can run like

curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version="mariadb-10.3"

Availabe versions are

mariadb-5.5
mariadb-10.0
mariadb-10.1
mariadb-10.2
mariadb-10.3
mariadb-10.4

When i run the script on Debian 9 server, i get following error

root@server:~# curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash
