mysql -u root -p

CREATE USER 'calagator'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

CREATE DATABASE calagator_development;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON calagator_development.* TO 'calagator'@'localhost';

exit;

Note: Make sure to replace 'password' with a secure password for the Calagator user.

Step 7: Initialize the Database

Now that the database is configured, we need to initialize the database schema and seed data for Calagator using the following command:

bundle exec rake db:schema:load db:seed
