2- Database Step
As mentioned Joomla! requires access to a database to operate and to store all its data. You cannot skip this step.
If you are working on a local host environment server then usually you have to input the following:
Database Type: MySQLi, as the one that is already chosen by default
Host Name : localhost
Username - root
Password: leave it blank
Database Name: something like joomla_yourproejctname
Table Prefix: choose a prefix making sure that the prefix chosen is not used by other tables.
