Step-by-step guide
All commands are to be run as the root user, either by directly logging in as root or by using sudo su - .
Start from a base Debian 10 installation. All necessary packages will be installed through the following commands.
Prerequisite recommended OS update
Add the backports repo specifically so that the odbc-mariadb package is available. Then update the OS to current.
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster-backports main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
echo deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster-backports main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgradeInstall all the necessary packages
