First we create the mariadb repository.

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo

# MariaDB 10.1 CentOS repository list - created 2014-07-21 12:14 UTC

name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos6-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1

Next we install mariadb

yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

Next we change the root database password:

And finally we start mysql

mysql start

And enable it in the next reboot

chkconfig mysql on
