Tryton ERP MySQL installation - mysql

Question

I'm trying to install Tryton ERP with MySQL as the database. It's not quite clear what you are meant to do.
From the config documentation you simply supply the uri to the database under the [database] section:
[database]
uri = mysql://user:pass#localhost:3306
However running trytond -v -c /home/user/.config/tryton/3.8/tryton.conf does not seem to get it working. When trying to access the 127.0.0.1:8050 where I've got Tryton running, I simply get 127.0.0.1 - - [23/Nov/2015 16:55:10] code 404, message File not found
One would assume, Tryton either installs the database on its own or you need to create yourself somehow but I didn't see any documentation surrounding that.
I've also trying adding a database through the Tryton GUI, it encounters the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tryton/gui/window/dbcreate.py", line 65, in server_change

return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end())
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 2 (char 1)
I've got the prerequisites installed that were listed here and MySQL-python package installed, should there be anything else?

You should create a database on MySQL with it's own tools. Once the database is created you must initialize it using the following command:
trytond -c <config_file> -d <database name> --all
See for complete reference:
http://doc.tryton.org/3.8/trytond/doc/topics/setup_database.html#topics-setup-database.
Once finished, the server will ask for an admin password. Once entered you can conect using the tryton client with the admin user and the entered password.
In order to access tryton from web client you must install and configure the sao web interface, that can be found on:
