+When installing ~~Matomo~~ you need to specify a MySQL (or MariaDB) database hostname, user and password.
+
+To create your database and database user, you would typically use your web hosting provider interface which would let you add a new MySQL database and create a new user with permission to access this database, in just a few clicks.
+
+If you are installing Matomo (Piwik) on your own server and/or don’t have a tool available to manage your database, you can manually create the MySQL database user by following these steps:
+
+#### Connect to your MySQL database:
+```
+$ mysql
+```
+
+#### Create a database :
+```
+$ mysql> CREATE DATABASE matomo_db_name_here;
+```
+
+#### Create a user called matomo, if you are using MySQL 5.7 or MySQL 8 or newer :
+```
+$ mysql> CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'my-strong-password-here';
+```
+
+Or if you are using an older version such as MySQL 5.1, MySQL 5.5, MySQL 5.6:
+
+```
+mysql> CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-strong-password-here';
+```
+
+#### Grant this user ~~matomo~~ the permission to access your ~~matomo~~_db_name_here database :
+```
+$ mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, INDEX, DROP, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON matomo_db_name_here.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
+```
+It is important to grant the user the following privileges: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, INDEX, DROP, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES
+
+#### (OPTIONAL) Grant this user matomo the FILE global privilege: (if enabled, reports will be archived faster thanks to the LOAD DATA INFILE feature) :
+
+```
+$ mysql> GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
+```
