# Database Initialization First create a user in the mariadb: ```bash sudo mariab -u root -p ``` ```sql CREATE USER ''@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY ''; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ''@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ``` Then modify the `.env` file: ```bash SERVICE_ARCHITECTURE_USER=user SERVICE_ARCHITECTURE_PASSWORD=password ``` **And finally run the `init.sh` to create the database.** > If you want to update the database, it is recommended to run `remove.sh` before hand.
