Do I have to uinstall MariaDB to give way to another open-source database?

I am planning to install MongoDB because it's one requirement for a job, but currently I have MariaDB installed on my PC. Is is safe to install mongoDB if I still have the MariaDB installed? Or do I have to uninstall MariaDB first? need help before making a move. thanks

This is not a problem at all. You can even have multiple MongoDBs installed at the same server. Just download and install it, and it will work fine. Good luck with MongoDB!

They won't interact, it's like having Firefox and Chrome both installed at once.

Also, MariaDB is a SQL-based database while MongoDB is a NoSQL database (so you're going to have to learn how Mongo handles input, etc).
