mariadb-10.11 @10.11.13_1 cannot be initialised on macOS Sonoma 14.8.5 because of: sudo: /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadb_install_db: command not found

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

From testing /opt/local/var/db/mariadb-10.11 already exists, in the desired shape. So it would be OK to start with:

pete 236 /\ sudo -u _mysql /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadb_install_db
Password:
sudo: /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadb_install_db: command not found
Exit 1

Indeed:

pete 406 /\ l /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadb_install_db
ls: /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadb_install_db: No such file or directory
Exit 1
pete 407 /\ l /opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/
