10,654 PointsWhat to download if I already have XAMPP?
I have XAMPP downloaded on my computer because of a previous PHP course on treehouse and I want to avoid downloading unnecessary files. What exactly do I need to download in my case? Thank you

17,403 PointsIf you have XAMPP already installed, you should be able to follow along by going to localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser, while XAMPP is running.
You just need to open XAMPP and click "Start" for Apache and MySQL. Then you can either click "Admin" for MySQL or type localhost/phpmyadmin in the browser to get to where you can access it :)
Otherwise, I think you can just install the MySQL Workbench on it's own, but I don't know how one would go about "connecting" it to XAMPP...
Hope that helps :)

10,654 PointsI guess I'm really confused about XAMPP and its MySQL option. What is the difference between the MySQL on XAMPP and the MySQL Andrew in making us download? Can I perform all the task and challenges in the remainder of "Database Foundations" course with what I already have with XAMPP?
