How to import large mysql dump file into mariadb localhost

Question

Hi i would like to import a large mysql dump file into localhost maria db...but found this error

my command is just like so

mysql -u root -p dbname < dumpfile.sql

Answer 1

$ mysql --help | grep user
  -u, --user=name     User for login if not current user.

So try mysql -uroot -p dbname < dumpfile.sql (your screenshot doesn't use -u)
