	* Download and install ~~XAMPP (~~[~~http~~://~~www~~.~~apachefriends.org~~/en/~~xampp~~-~~windows~~.~~html Windows]~~, ~~[http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html Linux]). Make sure~~ you ~~have both apache~~ and ~~mysql selected when you install~~ it.		* Download and install [https://mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb-tx MariaDB] for your operating system.
	* ~~Run XAMPP Control Panel~~ (~~Open start menu, type 'xampp' in the search field~~ and ~~run~~ it)		** (Defaults should work, you need tcp enabled and to set a root password. if it offers do not set it up to use windows authentication)
	* Click ~~'Start' next~~ to ~~Apache~~ and ~~MySQL in~~ the ~~control panel~~. ~~(Apache often conflicts with skype~~, ~~so make sure you have skype off: Right~~ click ~~it's icon~~ in the ~~tray~~ and ~~click quit~~. ~~Hiding it is not enough.)~~		* Open HeidiSQL (comes with mariadb) and connect it to the database
	* ~~Go to~~ the ~~following address~~ in ~~your browser: [http://localhost/phpmyadmin http://localhost/phpmyadmin]~~ (will ~~only work once you start up both Apache and MySQL in~~ the ~~XAMPP Control Panel~~)		** Click on new to create a new session, check prompt for credentials and leave the rest as default.
	* ~~Click on the button titled SQL in the row of buttons~~ at ~~the top~~.		** Click save, then click open and enter in root for the username and the password you setup during the installation.
	* Open the file ~~'SQL/~~tgstation_schema.sql' in ~~notepad and copy its content~~. You can also find it [https://~~github~~.com/tgstation/~~-tg-station/blob~~/master/SQL/tgstation_schema.sql here], but it may be newer than the version you are using.		* Right click on the server entry in the left side plane (the area with information_schema, mysql, etc) (the server entry will be the first one) and go to create new -> database
	* ~~Paste~~ the ~~file's content into~~ the ~~input field for sql in phpmyadmin~~ and ~~hit 'Execute'~~ in the bottom ~~right~~		** You can name it anything at this step, tg13, tgstation13, ss13.
	* ~~Once you execute this,~~ a new ~~database~~ should be ~~added to~~ the ~~list on~~ the ~~left~~, ~~called 'feedback'. If~~ not, ~~refresh the page. If you~~ click on the database~~, it should show~~ you ~~all~~ the ~~tables~~ it ~~includes. At this point~~, ~~you have created the~~ database ~~'infrastructure'. You now have to create a user for it~~.		*** (Don't name it 'test' unless you like security issues)
	* ~~Click~~ on ~~'SQL' in~~ the top again, and execute the following statement: CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass'; GRANT ALL ON feedback.* TO 'myuser'@'%'; Replace both instances of myuser with some username and mypass with some password~~. Be careful~~ to copy ~~all~~ the ~~apostrophes. This~~ will ~~create a new user and grant him all privileges for~~ the ~~feedback database.~~		* Select the database you just created and then go to file -> open sql file and Open the file tgstation_schema.sql file in the SQL directory of the game. You can also find it [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tgstation/tgstation/master/SQL/tgstation_schema.sql here], but it may be newer than the version you are using.
	* Please keep phpmyadmin open for a while longer.		* Press the blue play icon in the topic bar of icon hieroglyphs and pray. If the schema imported correctly you should have no errors in the message box on the bottom.
			* Create a new user account for the server by going to tools -> user manager
			** hostname should be 127.0.0.1, not localhost if hosted locally, other wise use the ip of the game server.
			** For permissions, do not give it any global permissions, instead click add object, and then select the database you created for the server, hit ok, then give it select, update, insert, and delete permissions on that database.
			** You can click the arrow on the password field to get a randomly generated password of certain lengths, copy the password before saving as it will be cleared the moment you hit save.
	* Open the file: [https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/blob/master/config/dbconfig.txt config/dbconfig.txt] in notepad		* Open the file: [https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/blob/master/config/dbconfig.txt config/dbconfig.txt] in notepad

	* The database is now set up for death logging, population logging, polls ([[Working with the database#Adding a new poll\|Tutorial]]), library, privacy poll, connection logging and player logging. There are two more features which you should consider. And it's best to do so now, since adopting them later can be a pain.		* The database is now set up for death logging, population logging, polls ([[Working with the database#Adding a new poll\|Tutorial]]), library, privacy poll, connection logging and player logging.
