During the installation process, you will be asked to create a root password for the MySQL server. Make sure to choose a strong password and remember it.

Step 4: Download and Install Moonmoon

Create a new user and grant it privileges to the new database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON moonmoon.* TO 'moon_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'moon_password';

Replace moon_user and moon_password with your preferred username and password.

Exit the MySQL shell:

quit

To configure Moonmoon, open the config.php file in a text editor:
