Create an empty database which will be used by Elxis to store your data in. We strongly recommend to use a MySQL database. Although Elxis has backend support for other database types such as PostgreSQL and SQLite 3 it is well tested only with MySQL. To create an empty MySQL database do so from your hosting control panel (CPanel, Plesk, ISP Config, etc) or from phpMyAdmin or other database management tools. Just provide a name for your database and create it. After that, create a database user and assign him to your newly created database. Make a note of the database name, the username and the password; you will need them later during install.
