Cannot get galera cluster to start - -bash: galera_new_cluster: command not found

I am following instructions to install MariaDB Galera cluster on Centos 7.6 But, I just cannot get the cluster to start. I can get the MariaDB service started on both nodes. Here is my server.cnf

[galera]
# Mandatory settings
wsrep_cluster_name="galera_cluster"
wsrep_on=ON
wsrep_provider=/usr/lib64/galera/libgalera_smm.so
wsrep_cluster_address=gcomm://172.18.35.XXX,172.18.35.XXX
binlog_format=row
default_storage_engine=InnoDB
innodb_autoinc_lock_mode=2

I am stumped, there is nothing in the Maria DB logs. What else should I be looking at?

Never mind, I was able to get past that step, but the cluster will not start. I do not get any errors when I run

root@db-mmr101:/var/lib/mysql$  /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --wsrep-new-cluster
190709 15:01:24 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/lib/mysql/db-mmr101.err'.
190709 15:01:25 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

Or start the MariaDB service. Nothing in the error logs as well?

Solution

I realized that yum install was not installing MariaDB 10+ on Centos7.6, since there is no build in the repo for that. Had to use rpm to download/build MariaDB 10.4. yum will install the default MariaDB 5.5 which comes with Centos 7.6. 5.5 is a really old version, which does not have the galera_new_cluster command. Here is a good guide to get MariaDB installed on RHEL 7+ using rpm-qa https://medium.com/@thomashysselinckx/installing-mariadb-with-rpm-on-centos7-bce648cce758 I spent a lot of time, trying to get it working with yum and eventually gave up and went the rpm route.
