# tuna and MariaDB

## Step 1. Download the client

Instructions are available on the [installation page](https://tuna.am/en/docs/guides/install.md).

## Step 2. Start MariaDB server

Installation instructions can be found in the [official documentation](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-and-using-mariadb-via-docker/).

## Step 3. Run tuna

MariaDB uses port `3306` by default:

```bash
tuna tcp 3306

```

As a result of running the command, the connection address will be displayed on the screen (for example, `ru.tuna.am:12345`), which can now be used to connect to MariaDB.
