How to start mysql in Manjaro from terminal?
I had installed mysql
using the following command
sudo pacman -Sy mysql
Earlier, I was using Lampp(Xampp for Linux) where I could start using the command
/opt/lampp/start start
I am not sure if I was running Xampp that way cause, it's been a long day I had used Lampp. Now, I want to run mysql (which I installed using sudo pacman -Sy mysql
). I was looking at help also. But, I didn't find any start command.
mysql --help
The following groups are read: mysql mariadb-client client client-server client-mariadb
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options):
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.
-?, --help Display this help and exit.
-I, --help Synonym for -?
--abort-source-on-error
Abort 'source filename' operations in case of errors
--auto-rehash Enable automatic rehashing. One doesn't need to use
'rehash' to get table and field completion, but startup
and reconnecting may take a longer time. Disable with
--disable-auto-rehash.
(Defaults to on; use --skip-auto-rehash to disable.)
-A, --no-auto-rehash
No automatic rehashing. One has to use 'rehash' to get
table and field completion. This gives a quicker start of
mysql and disables rehashing on reconnect.
--auto-vertical-output
Automatically switch to vertical output mode if the
result is wider than the terminal width.
-B, --batch Don't use history file. Disable interactive behavior.
(Enables --silent.)
--binary-as-hex Print binary data as hex
--character-sets-dir=name
Directory for character set files.
--column-type-info Display column type information.
-c, --comments Preserve comments. Send comments to the server. The
default is --skip-comments (discard comments), enable
with --comments.
-C, --compress Use compression in server/client protocol.
-#, --debug[=#] This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit.
--debug-check Check memory and open file usage at exit.
-T, --debug-info Print some debug info at exit.
-D, --database=name Database to use.
--default-character-set=name
Set the default character set.
--delimiter=name Delimiter to be used.
-e, --execute=name Execute command and quit. (Disables --force and history
file.)
-E, --vertical Print the output of a query (rows) vertically.
-f, --force Continue even if we get an SQL error. Sets
abort-source-on-error to 0
-G, --named-commands
Enable named commands. Named commands mean this program's
internal commands; see mysql> help . When enabled, the
named commands can be used from any line of the query,
otherwise only from the first line, before an enter.
Disable with --disable-named-commands. This option is
disabled by default.
-i, --ignore-spaces Ignore space after function names.
--init-command=name SQL Command to execute when connecting to MariaDB server.
Will automatically be re-executed when reconnecting.
--local-infile Enable/disable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.
-b, --no-beep Turn off beep on error.
-h, --host=name Connect to host.
-H, --html Produce HTML output.
-X, --xml Produce XML output.
--line-numbers Write line numbers for errors.
(Defaults to on; use --skip-line-numbers to disable.)
-L, --skip-line-numbers
Don't write line number for errors.
-n, --unbuffered Flush buffer after each query.
--column-names Write column names in results.
(Defaults to on; use --skip-column-names to disable.)
-N, --skip-column-names
Don't write column names in results.
--sigint-ignore Ignore SIGINT (CTRL-C).
-o, --one-database Ignore statements except those that occur while the
default database is the one named at the command line.
--pager[=name] Pager to use to display results. If you don't supply an
option, the default pager is taken from your ENV variable
PAGER. Valid pagers are less, more, cat [> filename],
etc. See interactive help (\h) also. This option does not
work in batch mode. Disable with --disable-pager. This
option is disabled by default.
-p, --password[=name]
Password to use when connecting to server. If password is
not given it's asked from the tty.

When I try to run
mysql -A
I get the following error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I was just running the command for testing, I totally don't know what auto-rehash
is.
mysql
version is :
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.10-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
I had tried to run the command
sudo mysql -u root -p
It was asking me for password. I had tried three default passwords.
- localhost
- root
- (empty)
All of them were returning the following error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I had tried to start mysql using service command.
sudo service mysql start
Unfortunately, "service" application wasn't available. When I tried with systemctl
I got the following error
Failed to enable unit: Unit file mysqld.service does not exist.
When I only run mysql
directly. I got following error.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I was trying to check /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
file. When I entered /run/
I noticed there was no mysqld
folder. I had installed mysql from snapd.

Actually, It was happening for mariadb
wasn't installed. So, I simply was trying to install mysqld directly (Some websites said to install mysqld). But, there was no mysqld
package. So, I had wrote mysqld
in command line and, run that command. Then, pamac checked repositories. Then, installed mariadb
.
sudo pamac install mariadb
Now, I can simply start/enable mysqld using the following command.
sudo systemctl enable mysqld
