MySQL_linux

Login as root first:

$ sudo mysql -u root
Then CREATE or ALTER a non-root user (use '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost' if needed):

CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'adminspassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit and restart:

exit
$sudo service mysql restart
$sudo service apache2 restart
And edit the .env file:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3630  //not sure
DB_DATABASE=yourdbname
DB_USERNAME=admin
DB_PASSWORD=adminspassword
