Downloading of WordPress instructions no 2. states that: **Create a database for WordPress on your webserver, as well as MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.**

Can I be assisted in how I get to do that, because that has been the reason I have not been able to get my WordPress (LOCAL) to execute and to work? How do I create a database on my web server, as well as on MySQL? How do I create myself to have the privileges to act as an admin?

I hope I have clarified my query, and I hope that I will be assisted.
