I have installed mariadb using pacman in terminal but it shows the following error as i run
sudo systemctl start mysqld
Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB
Did you followed the instructions in the Arch Wiki. At least one manual step is required before you can start the service.
Its not working because, innodb is not supported. I dont know what to do next
That is simply nonsense, innodb is supported out of the box: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/storage-engines/
Did you read the archi wiki entry @xabbu pointed to?
Namely did you initialize the database at the configured/default location via
$ sudo mariadb-install-db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql

And it is very important to delete everything that is now in /var/lib/mysql before you run the mariadb-install-db command.
If there is already stuff in /var/lib/mysql it will also result in errors.
Simply do what @freggel.doe said.
You don’t install MariaDB from pacman just like that you have to set up.
Well its nonsense only when it runs on all machines, it doesnot.
yes i tried that is not the error
Ok, i will do that
reinstalling after deleting the var/lib/mysql directory solved the issue
