You can install MySQL, which is a great open-source database server. Type the following command to install MySQL on your server:<\/p>\n<pre>apt install mysql-server mysql-client<\/pre>\n<p>Once MySQL is installed on your server, you can use the commands below in order to stop, start, and enable the MySQL service.<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mysql\r\nsystemctl stop mysql\r\nsystemctl enable mysql<\/pre>\n<p>The next command is optional, but recommended by us. You can run the command if you want to secure the MySQL server by disallowing remote root access, removing the test database, and setting a root password for MySQL.<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>When prompted, answer the questions below by following the guide.<\/p>\n<pre>Enter current password for root (enter for none): Just press the [Enter] key, as no password is set by default.\r\nSet root password? [Y\/n]: Y\r\nNew password: Enter your password\r\nRe-enter new password: Repeat your password\r\nRemove anonymous users? [Y\/n]: Y\r\nDisallow root login remotely?

[Y\/n]: Y<\/pre>\n<p>Restart the MySQL server so the changes will take effect.<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart mysql<\/pre>\n<p>Now you should be able to log in to the MySQL shell with the command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>Then type the password you created above to sign on. Once you are in the MySQL shell, you can use the following command and create a database called <code>etherpad_db<\/code> for the Etherpad application.<\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE etherpad_db;<\/pre>\n<p>To grant the user etherpad_user with full access to the etherpad_db run the command:<\/p>\n<pre>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON etherpad_db.* TO etherpad_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Str0n9Pas$worD<\/span>';<\/pre>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Don&#8217;t forget to replace &#8216;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Str0n9Pas$worD<\/span>&#8216; with a unique, strong password.
