    Are you installing on your machine, or trying to access a site hosted elsewhere from your machine?

    If you are using xampp / mamp then you would create the database first.
    have you done this?

    What package are you using to install locally?

    if you’re on mac, MAMP sometimes can’t reach the db server on localhost. Can you use the mysql command line to access it this way? e g:

    mysql -u dbusername -p -h localhost

    if not try to usie 127.0.0.1 as db host.
