MySQL Quickstart

The code base expects a MySQL connection to run.

1. Download and install MySQL Community Server for your OS.

• This will allow you to run a local MySQL server.

2. Download MySQL Workbench for your OS.

• This will allow you to connect to either a local or remote MySQL server.
• This will also allow you to create a schema for your local tamarisk database.

3. In MySQL Workbench, create a new MySQL connection with the following:

• **hostname ** 127.0.0.1 (your local IP address)
• port 3306
• username root
• password leave this blank, as MySQL defaults an (insecure) root user with no password

install homebrew install mysql start mysql server $ brew services start mysql myysql -u root create user with password and grant privileges
