howdy folks,

​

So I literally just started learning SQL probably about an hour ago and am watching a youtube tutorial by freecodecamp.org on it.

​

They try walking you through installing mysql, and I've followed along, but I am not prompted for a 'root password' or anything like that as in the video. In fact, I am not getting a few of the steps when going through the installation process.

​

Ive looked elsewhere and they all show the same steps, but I'm not getting those during the installation.

​

Could it be the fact that the video was published 2 years ago and uses 5.7 instead of 8.0?

​

I'm on a brand new laptop with barely anything installed, and don't have anything fancy setting wise that might interfere with installing it properly.

​

I'm on windows 10 on a XPS 15 9500.

​

Any help is super appreciated because I'm really looking forward to learning but can't get past the damn installation.
