How to enable mysql Workbench connection manually

Question

I would like to know how to manually activate the connection in Mysql Workbench, without the aid of a command IDE like xampp.

As I remember if I was making this connection via computer management, but I do not remember the next steps, I will be attaching an image of the steps that were made by me.

But I believe that these steps are not correct, I thank you.

Answer 1

You need to install the mysql server separate from xampp.

1 - mysql download, https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

2 - install

After installing will appear the mysql service in your service manager, so you can start and stop the mysql service.
