MariaDB Server is available for installation on macOS (formerly Mac OS X) via the Homebrew package manager.

MariaDB Server is available as a Homebrew 'bottle', a pre-compiled package. This means you can install it without having to build from source yourself. This saves time.

After installing Homebrew, MariaDB Server can be installed with this command:

  1. Aug 09, 2019 Getting ClamAV running on macOS isn’t that hard, but I was close to giving up! I love using open source software and macOS. As macOS is UNIX based, almost all open source software works on macOS. There are times where just using Linux to run open source software is a better experience than macOS. ClamAV is one of those times.

Building MariaDB Server from source

In addition to the 'bottled' MariaDB Server package available from Homebrew, you can use Homebrew to build MariaDB from source. This is useful if you want to use a different version of the server or enable some different capabilities that are not included in the bottle package.

Two components not included in the bottle package (as of MariaDB Server 10.1.19) are the CONNECT and OQGRAPH engines, because they have non-standard dependencies. To build MariaDB Server with these engines, you must first install boost and judy. As of December 2016, judy is in the Homebrew 'boneyard', but the old formula still works on macOS Sierra. Follow these steps to install the dependencies and build the server:

You can also use Homebrew to build and install a pre-release version of MariaDB Server (for example MariaDB Server 10.2, when the highest GA version is MariaDB Server 10.1). Use this command to build and install a 'development' version of MariaDB Server:

My preferred anti-virus system is ClamAV and I had trouble getting itrunning on macOS recently. Here’s how I got it going so if you’rerunning to the same issue, this should solve your problem.

I will go through the steps I took and problems encountered. Thisarticle will take you less than three minutes to read.

To get ClamAV running on macOS, run: brew install clamav

Thanks to brew, open source software like ClamAV can run on multipleplatforms.

Mac

Normally, I would just run the application directly, in this case:clamav, but that does not exist. The main application is: clamscan

Mac

Hmm. What is going on here?

After looking up the man page, man clamscan, one related package isfreshclam, that has a description:

freshclam - update virus databases

Aah - let’s run freshclam to update the definition!

Clamav Windows Download

Well, there’s no such file, or where do I get it? Is there a sample somewhere?

Well, it turns out I missed a critical line in the brew install, which was:

To finish installation & run clamav you will need to editthe example conf files at /usr/local/etc/clamav/

Clamav

🤦‍♂️ whoops! I didn’t even look (and only when writing up this article,I noticed it).

Let’s make the freshclam.conf file by running command:
