Clarifying MySQL secure installation instructions
# Start the MySQL service (mysqld or mariadb) using '''systemctl'''.
# Ensure that the mysqld/mariadb service starts automatically during boot.
# You may get messages after starting the MySQL service for the first time. Do not ignore these messages, it will tell you how to set a password and take other basic steps to secure the the MySQL server. Follow those instructions to set a password, recording the detail of what you do for later use.
#* If you do not see any messages, research how you can secure the MySQL installation and set the MySQL-root password.
#* Read those messages carefully, you are setting up a production MySQL server and there shouldn't be any "test" databases or anonymous users or users without a password.
# Set your MySQL root password to your learn ID (without the @senecac.on.ca part).
