Preparation:

1. To install server Laragon/WAMP/XAMPP (Windows OS user)
2. To install MySQL GUI go to https://www.heidisql.com/download.php
3. To install NodeJS & NPM go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/

We will use this commands:

node -v
npm -v
npm install --global yarn
yarn --version
echo "create database strapi_db;" | mysql -uroot -p
yarn create strapi-app project-name
cd project-name
yarn develop
open http://localhost:1337/admin

Open your command prompt (terminal window):

1. Check that NodeJS is running: node -v
2. Check that NPM is running: npm -v
3. Install Yarn package manager : npm install --global yarn
4. Check Yarn is running: yarn --version
5. Crate a new database for Strapi 'strapi_db': echo "create database strapi_db;" | mysql -uroot -p , or you can use PHPMyAdmin or HeidiSQL
6. Install strapi: yarn create strapi-app project-name
   • Select language preference, Javascript or Typescript
   • Select database server preference, MySQL or PostgreSQL
   • Press Enter key for default answer
   • Put same database name as you created before strapi_db
   • Select "N" for SSL
   • If installation is successful, tables are generated automatically for your database
7. Get into your project folder: cd project-name
8. Run strapi: yarn develop
