MySql credentials - mysql

I'm trying to install MySql.
The installer asks for username and password, it says it's provided in the server configuration but I don't know how to get such information.
Any help?

You need to manually install mysql server by using the add option in the Mysql intsaller. Add mysql server 8.0 or something.

don't you have a mysql server ? if yes please add those credentials to that. if not you can install XAMPP into your local PC or connect to hosted mysql server.
Can't imagine your requirement and what are going to do.

Xampp connects to MariaDB instead of mysql (KNP/SymfonyCasts tutorial "how to speak database")

I am following tutorial from KNP/SymfonyCasts and I have problem with connecting to mysql.
That's what tutor write in her terminal
And that is my output
I assume this matter so... How can I change this? They do not cover issue, just mention that if blank password doesn't work, I should use "root".
MariaDB comes with XAMPP.
Since you installed XAMPP and are using it, obviously it will connect to its MariaDB installation. MariaDB is Mysql.
Don't install the MySQL that comes bundled with XAMPP or just change the config and point it to your other MySQL installation if you have one (a community server, for example)
Or just use the MariaDB(Mysql) from XAMPP.

How to create a local database for MYSQL workbench?

Is it possible to create a local database on my home-computer for MYSQL workbench?
This server is only for my own use. Not to the outside community.
Download XAMPP on your machine and install it. (Windows)
After successful installation, you will be able to see an icon on your toolbar.
Click on it and start Apache, MySQL and if anything you need.
Open browser, type : localhost/phpmyadmmin
This will give you an GUI to manage databases locally on your machine. XAMPP basically provides you local server.
If this is what you are looking for, after creating a database in MySQL from your local machine, then that you could access the database through MySQL workbench as a local instance. It asks you to authenticate based on your MySQL conf though. Just the normal way!
You can download WAMP (Apache, Mysql, PHP) server on Windows.
Then add new connection in workbench.
host:127.0.0.1
username:root
password:<Empty>

How to create a connection with MySQL Admin?

I am extremly new with databases. I have only created one, and that was in SQLite on android. I downloaded MySQL Admin for linux (Ubuntu) and downloaded and installed Admin. Now I want to create a database, but I jave know idea what I'm doing. I created a connection via the drop down menu option 'Open Connection Editor', and I keep getting a 'MySQL Error Nr. 2005' error. Do I have to do something command line wise first to set up the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Aedon
MySQL is different to SQLite in that you need to have some server software running the whole time managing the database. It's that server software that you connect a MySQL client to.
You need to grab yourself a copy of MySQL Server then I'd recommend this tutorial
Good luck!
If you are using Ubuntu you can install MySQL Server easily with this command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
and then I suggest you to download MySQL Workbench, it's a GUI Tool where you can do almost everything with MySQL databases (create,drop,alter, modeling, administer the service).
Then, you can create a connection with mysql workbench or mysql admin (or another client) and do your stuff. If you installed the server in your PC then the parameter are something like this:
host = localhost
user = root
password = (the password you specified in the installation)
