Creating a database
In order to store all of your store’s information, PrestaShop uses a MySQL database. The steps
involved in creating the database depend upon your server. Let’s take for example PhpMyadmin, one
of the most widespread database management tools. On the program’s homepage, you will find a
field marked “Create a Database.” Create a name for your database (For example, “prestashop”) and
type it into the field. Once you have chosen a name, click on “Create” to validate it. A message should
follow indicating “The database ‘prestashop’ has been created.” See the screen shot below.
