Useable guide to first invocation of mariadb - where?

Show all headers | View raw

My eventual goal is to install the Debian version of WordPress on my 
laptop and access it via http://localhost .
I did this with incomplete success. It was unclear if there were 
installation errors or there was a version incompatibility between my 
reference material an my installation. Situation is complicated by not 
having records of how did installation and setup last time.

 >50 years of experience suggested a completely fresh install of 
*EVERYTHING*!

I installed Stretch with MATE desktop.
No problem installing Apache2.
I then did
   apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server

As user I (reasonably) see:
richard@stretch-2nd:~$ mariadb
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'richard'@'localhost'

As root I see:
root@stretch-2nd:/home/richard# mariadb
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 10
Server version: 10.1.22-MariaDB- Debian 9.0

Copyright (c) 2000, 2016, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input 
statement.

MariaDB [(none)]>

Therefore mariadb was successfully installed.
*BUT* I find *NOTHING* on the web about first run of mariadb!

Random meandering thru the help system yields documentation of "account 
management" on the microscopic details (with links into 
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/account-management-sql-commands/ ).

*NO USEFUL OVERVIEW*
I can create users and associated passwords.
But what *VITAL* things will be missing?

I, myself, will be creating any databases. But I do want to know that 
all will be ready for the installation of WordPress to function.

Guidance?
TIA
