I have used CQRLog for many years and do not want to use any other logging program. My question is I have Mariadb already installed by another program. I do not want to bust the progam that depends on Mariadb by installing CQRLog. So will CQRLog recognize that Mariadb is already installed and not overwrite it with a different version? Not sure about MySql .
Thanks,

Hi Marty!
Depend on your Linux. If it is Ubuntu or variant it will try to install Mysql if you install Cqrlog from package.
I do not know for sure, but guess is that it will override MariaDB.
If you have used Cqrlog you must have it in some PC.
Is this MariaDB PC another machine where you want also Cqrlog?
In that case you could just copy file /usr/bin/cqrlog and folder /usr/share/cqrlog to that MariaDB machine and try to start Cqrlog.
If you are lucky it starts ok. If not you may have to install some dependencies.
if you look to https://www.cqrlog.com/download
and read down from "Complete application directory for other distributions:"
The tar.gz file for download includes just those mentioned files. And if you read forward you see "Please don't forget to install" that is the needed dependencies of ones you already have MariaDB ones.

I need a complete reinstall. Unfortunately the PC with CQRLog crashed and I had to rebuild it. I am using Mint 21.3. My CCTV system uses Mariadb so I suspect that it is already installed. I have the CQR qso files backedup but, I do not have the CQRLog directories. I'll dig around and check my old backups.
So assuming Mariadb is installed I should use the Complete application directory for other distributions files for inastallation. If I have the "must install" dependencies I should not install them. Only those that are not installed already.
Am I correct?
Thanks
