MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL database. On most cases, you can just uninstall MySQL and install MariaDB and you are good to go. To keep up the two databases compatible, the MariaDB team are doing monthly merges with the MySQL code base making sure new features and fixes are kept up.

Uninstall MySQL

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove

Install MariaDB

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y
