Mysql

You need a MySQL server running on the machine where you plan to run CloudCoder server. There are many ways to install MySQL. If you want to do so quickly, you can always try LAMP/XAMP on Linux and MAMP on Mac OS X, which will install Apache, PhpMyAdmin, and MySQL.

Once you have MySQL running, you will need to create a MySQL user for the CloudCoder webapp to use. The username cloudcoder is a good choice. To create the user, run the command

mysql --user=root --pass \
--execute="create user 'cloudcoder'@'localhost' identified by 'somepassword'"

Enter the password for the MySQL root user when prompted. Replace somepassword with the password you want to use. (If you chose a different username, replace cloudcoder with that username.)

Next, grant the cloudcoder user account permission to create the database:

mysql --user=root --pass \
--execute="grant all on cloudcoderdb.* to 'cloudcoder'@'localhost'"

Again, replace cloudcoder and cloudcoderdb with the username and database name you chose previously.
