Installing MySql to Raspberry Pi

I am trying to install MySQL on a Raspberry Pi 3. Currently I have Apache and PHP installed. I now need to install MySQL but when I do sudo apt-get install mysql-server php-mysql -y, I receive an error telling me that there is no such package:
E: Package 'mysql-server' has no installation candidate Complete output:

pi@raspberrypi:/var/www/html $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server php-mysql -y

Package mysql-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  mariadb-server-10.0

E: Package 'mysql-server' has no installation candidate```
Solution

  • I guess using MariaDB fixes my issue.

    sudo apt install mariadb-server php-mysql -y
