2.1. Windows#

This section describes how to install Mroonga on Windows. You can install Mroogna by extracting a zip package.

Mroonga binary for Windows is provided with MariaDB binary because some changes are needed for building Mroonga for Windows.

2.1.1. Zip#

Download zip file and extract it. You need to choose a zip for your environment:

MariaDB with Mroonga-14.10

Zip packages are pre-configured for easy to use, so no need to execute INSTALL PLUGIN and CREATE FUNCTION.

Just start mysqld by following command:

> mysqld.exe --defaults-file=.\MY-PREFERRED-INI.ini --console

Each zip package contains ini files (my-small.ini, my-medium.ini, my-large.ini and so on), choose preferred ini file which meets on your demand.

Next connect to MariaDB by following command:

> mysql.exe
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW ENGINES;

2.1.2. Build from source with MariaDB#

You need to use Mroonga bundled MariaDB source provided by the Mroonga project.

You can find it in https://packages.groonga.org/source/mroonga/. Mroonga bundled MariaDB source has mariadb-${MARIADB_VERSION}-with-mroonga-${MROONGA_VERSION}.zip file name.

You can build the source code with the standard MariaDB build process.

You need to register Mroonga after building MariaDB. Use SQL at ${MARIADB_BUILD_DIR}\storage\mroonga\data\install.sql to register Mroonga.
