涉及好多个错误。一环套一环的。
首先安装问题

首先需要安装mariadb-server

systemctl start mariadb.service

会报错：Failed to start mariadb.service: Unit not found.

yum install mariadb

然后使用命令systemctl start mariadb，提示如下：

Failed to start mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory

意思找不到mariadb这个服务。之所以找不到，是因为mariadb的安装本身就没有完成，执行以下命令，查看mariadb的依赖情况：

执行以下，安装缺少的依赖包：

$ yum install mariadb-embedded mariadb-libs mariadb-bench mariadb mariadb-sever

然后再启动mariadb，正常，如果要设置开机自启动mariadb，使用以下命令：

$ systemctl enable mariadb

但是还是报错了：

Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

意思是执行

systemctl status mariadb.service

查看报错信息，从这里能够解决问题所在

重要的是这一条信息
4月 04 15:41:58 zhujiwu mysqld_safe[19166]: 190404 15:41:58 mysqld_safe A mysqld process already exists
解决方案：

然后执行

restart mariadb.service
status mariadb.service

成功运行
