-We’ll install MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench. MySQL Workbench is a MySQL GUI that we’ll use to create a database with tables for the Gantt data and to run queries. Download MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench from the MySQL community downloads page. If you’re using Windows, you can use the MySQL Installer to download the MySQL products. Use the default configurations when configuring MySQL Server and Workbench. Make sure that you configure the MySQL Server to start at system startup for convenience.
