‫All right guys.
‫So if you're on windows then you're probably using something like Larrigan.
‫That's what I would suggest anyway.
‫Or you might be using something like Zamp, also pronounced zamp or mamp or anything like that.
‫And if you're using one of those, then you already have MySQL installed on your system.
‫Now if you don't, if you if you did just install PHP separately, maybe you have just a custom Apache
‫server.
‫You probably know what to do if you're if you're doing that.
‫But you can also go to the MySQL website which is right here.
‫Let's open that up.
‫So you could go here and just download the community version, install the installer, set that up and
‫you'll have it installed.
‫All right.
‫Now if you're on Larrigan, what you'll want to do is open up the interface like this.
‫And you can see there's actually a button for database.
‫And this is a tool, a GUI tool that's similar to MySQL workbench, which is what we'll be using.
‫So you can actually connect to databases through here.
‫So if I hit open you'll see that all my databases show up on the side here.
‫So you can use this if you want.
‫Now if you want to go into the the command line then you could hit terminal.
‫And it's going to open this commander window.
‫And you should be able to say MySQL dash user root dash p and password.
‫Again, I'm not really positive on my passwords for the root user because I don't use it very much.
‫There we go.
‫I didn't have one on this either.
‫So now I'm in the terminal right.
‫So it's as easy as that.
‫And again I can say show databases.
‫And I did the same thing in the last video.
‫If you guys didn't watch it in the Mac video.
‫So show databases, there we go.
‫And I can start to add data and select data.
‫Do what I want.
‫So I just want you to get to this point whether you're on Windows or Mac.
‫All right.
‫And then in the next video we'll use the terminal and we'll start to look at some simple SQL statements.
