# Chapter 19. APPENDIX A: Create the MySQL database that PostNuke will use

If you have root access to the database, a command such as:

"`mysqladmin -u root -p create <dbname>`"

...will create the database. Replace "`<dbname>`" with the name of the database to create, for example, "`rogue`".

If you do not have root access to the database, you will need to create the database in another way before installation can continue.

Please consider using a tool such as phpMyAdmin (http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin) to automate the database creation process. To create the database using phpMyAdmin, type the name of the new database (for example, "`rogue`") and click "Create". The database will be created.
