Rename the wiki folder something short like "wiki"

mv mediawiki-1.35.1 wiki

Setup the database: SEE Rita's Notes PART 6!

NB: REPLACE USERNAME with your user name!

 sudo mysql -u root -p
 CREATE DATABASE USERNAMEwiki;  
 CREATE USER 'USERNAMEwiki'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SOMEPASSWORD';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON USERNAMEwiki.* TO 'USERNAMEwiki'@'localhost'; 
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
