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-14.08

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.
