hey guys i've had a search about but i can't find how to install and configure MariaDB for nginx if anyone could please explain how please.

thank you

MariaDB has nothing to do with nginx, inside nginx you configure php or Lua and from there on you connect to mariadb, mariadb should already be installed separately. nginx by itself does not connect to any database.
