How to install older mariadb or mysql?

I need 11.4 Mariadb because Magento relies on this or 8.4 Mysql

I am a little confused on how it's done.

Thanks

The best solution would be docker.

You could try

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst

It's extremely unlikely that would work. It's built against system libraries that have changed.

Re: How to install older mariadb or mysql?

is there any change between the requested version and current? I doubt there were any major changes that breaks your target application other than some strange manifest fixed on 11.4
the oroper way would be to upgrade your target application (couldn't find what "Magneto" is supposed to be) to at least 11.8-lts - as breaks within minor ipdates are even less likely (which raises the question why your target application relies on a specific minor of mariadb/mysql)
that sounds more like bad dependency management of the dev and should ne raised as an issue to fix this hard deoendency which is likely wrong anyway
do you build from source? update the pkgbuild and check whether you can run with 11.8-lts or 12.0 anyway
