+.SH "NAME"
+mariadb-install-db \- initialize MariaDB data directory (mysql_install_db is now a symlink to mariadb-install-db)

+.HP \w'\fBmysql_install_db\ [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR\ 'u
+\fBmysql_install_db [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+initializes the MariaDB data directory and creates the system tables that it contains, if they do not exist\&.
+.PP
+To invoke
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR, use the following syntax:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_install_db [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+Because the MariaDB server,
+\fBmysqld\fR, needs to access the data directory when it runs later, you should either run
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+from the same account that will be used for running
+\fBmysqld\fR
+or run it as
+root
+and use the
+\fB\-\-user\fR
+option to indicate the user name that
+\fBmysqld\fR
+will run as\&. It might be necessary to specify other options such as
+\fB\-\-basedir\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-datadir\fR
+if
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+does not use the correct locations for the installation directory or data directory\&. For example:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+shell> \fBbin/mysql_install_db \-\-user=mysql \e\fR
+ \fB\-\-basedir=/opt/mysql/mysql \e\fR
+ \fB\-\-datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data\fR
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+needs to invoke
+\fBmysqld\fR
+with the
+\fB\-\-bootstrap\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR
+options (see
+Section\ \&2.3.2, \(lqTypical configure Options\(rq)\&. If MariaDB was configured with the
+\fB\-\-disable\-grant\-options\fR
+option,
+\fB\-\-bootstrap\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR
+will be disabled\&. To handle this, set the
+MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP
+environment variable to the full path name of a server that has all options enabled\&.
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+will use that server\&.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_install_db\fR
+supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the
+[mysql_install_db]
+and (if they are common to
+\fBmysqld\fR)
+[mysqld]
+option file groups\&.
