Step 1. Install and configure MySQL
You need a database to manage and store adequately the user accounts and other info.
Step 1.1. Install MariaDB
Go to the MariaDB downloads website:
http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/
And download the Windows installer package:
Double click on the downloaded file:
Choose custom setup to avoid installing unnecessary components which just will take up disk space:
Write a password for the root user, which will be needed any time you want to directly manage a database. Programs can be set up to remember it, though.
Step 1.2. Configure MySQL
Click on Next
Choose Detailed Configuration and click on Next
Choose Developer Machine and click on Next
Choose Transactional Database Only and click on Next
Click on Next
Choose Manual Setting and click on Next
It surely could work with less connections but let's be on the safe side...
Check Enable TCP/IP Networking and click on Next
Warning: This option is important: always enable TCP/IP networking. Default port 3306 is fine.
Choose Standard Character Set and click on Next
Check Install As Windows Service and Launch the MySQL Server automatically and click on Next
Note: You can leave Launch the MySQL Server automatically unchecked:
and start the service manually every time you restart your computer, so that you don't have it running when you do not need it. This is explained later in Step 6. Anyway, after installation and until you reboot your computer the service will be already running in the background even when you choose to start it manually.
Check Modify Security Settings and enter the root password in both of the text boxes and click on Next
Note: I recommend you simply choosing root as root password since only you are going to access the database locally after all... And that way you will not forget the password when you need it at Step 2. Create a MySQL database
Warning: Close your firewall (it will be only for a second) before pressing the execute button
Otherwise, you can end with a message like this:
Now do not panic, close your firewall and click on retry.
If you happened to click on skip:
and got this:
- Run the MySQL server instance config wizard from the MySQL group menu:

You can enable your firewall again when you get the finish button:
