[PLUG] Problems installing MariaDB

I have not used a relational database since dBASEII was current.
About a year ago I attempted to install MariaDB but didn't find a
tutorial which was a close enough match to my system.
I use Debian 9 with MATE.
I found:
https://www.tecmint.com/install-mariadb-in-debian/
https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/mariadb/mariadb-setup-debian/
Using the official Debian repository:
apt-get install software-properties-common
apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
There seemed to be no problems.
*BUT* both references auto-magically go to a GUI setup screen.
It was suggested in another forum that I (as root) do:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
dpkg-reconfigure mariadb-server
The first appeared to run.
The second did nothing. No warnings. No error messages. Just returned to
prompt.
Ideas.
TIA
