Requirements

To follow this quick-start guide you need a MySQL server with X Plugin installed, the default in 8.0, and MySQL Shell to use as the client. See Installing MySQL Shell. Start MySQL before you load the example world_x database for this guide.

Download and Import world_x Database

To prepare the world_x database sample, follow these steps:

Download world_x-db.zip.
Extract the installation archive to a temporary location such as /tmp/. Unpacking the archive results in a single file named world_x.sql.
Import the world_x.sql file to your database. You can either:
- Start MySQL Shell in SQL mode and import the file by issuing:
```
mysqlsh -u root --sql --file /tmp/world_x-db/world_x.sql
Enter password: ****
```
- Set MySQL Shell to SQL mode while it is running and source the schema file while MySQL Shell is running by issuing:
```
\source /tmp/world_x-db/world_x.sql
Switching to SQL mode... Commands end with ;
\source /tmp/world_x-db/world_x.sql
```
Replace /tmp/ with the path to the world_x.sql file on your system. Enter your password when prompted. A non-root account can be used as long as the account has privileges to create new databases.
