I’ll admit it, my knowledge of this type of set up is virtually non-existent; I’m used to a one-click download. I was following this guide:

https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Installation_MacOS

I can confidently say that I followed it pretty well up until “Set up Database.” I followed the MySQL directions but I cannot seem to be able to create a database. When I entered this:

CREATE DATABASE openproject CHARACTER SET utf8;

I got this:

CREATE DATABASE openproject CHARACTER SET utf8;

That’s my first issue. I just tried to skip that for now and went to “Install OpenProject.”

git clone https://github.com/opf/openproject.git
cd openproject
git checkout stable

seemed to yield results but when I followed the next steps, nothing happened. I am stuck and at this point I’m about to throw my computer. Does any one have any suggestions for me? I feel like I am so close but so far away.
