+ Step 5: At this point, we still continue to configure the components such as: Server Name, TCP port, Buffer pool size and Size.

Here I only pay attention to the TCP port because if you do install MySQL, for example, the TCP port of MySQL is 3306.

If you do not change to 3307 (or another port, as long as it is not used) as shown below, you will not be able to run MariaDB, because MariaDB also runs port 3306 by default.
