title: How To Install MariaDB 10.2.9.tar.gz on CentOS-7
body: <p>Please, I have CentOS 7 build in my environment and I want to install MariaDB-10 upwards as it is the recommended version for wordpress database. I can not access internet from the server to avoid security issues since the server is being hosted in my office and not on the domain.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I have MariaDB-5.5 install as part of the LAMP installation package but I am unable to import my database from my local machine unless I change the export to a particular version. I don't want to change the export version because I am not sure of what issues might surface in the future because of that. So, I am trying to install the MariaDB-10.2.9.tar.gz that I downloaded but I have not been able to do so with the instructions that I have seen online.</p>
  
  <p>Your great help will be most appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
