Databases are very handy! They can be used for a lot of things! There is account databases, thread databases, and more! Basically databases can hold anything. If you still don't get it databases are like a storage that holds files inside, lets call them tables. Now lets get started?
First of all we need to download mysql for (mac) http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ to download.
If everything worked correctly then Congratz!!
Now we need to install phpmyadmin you can just use mysql but phpmyadmin is reccomended if you do not know how to use the mysql commands.
Install phpmyadmin from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

Please note: You do need to have an Apache web server to install this. I will make a tutorial later on apache.

After you install it put the phpmyadmin folder into your webserver directory.
You have installed most of phpmyadmin!


#I will post pictures and after this tutorial make a windows tutorial.
#In tutorial 2 you will be finishing the phpmyadmin installation and possibly creating a database for a login and register button
