Getting this error when I run sudo mysql_secure_installation and hit enter for no password:

Is MySQL Server installed?

Is MySQL Server started (i.e. running)?

OMG no it was not. :(

I don't know if we are just expected to know to do this. (Probably) But I'm brand new to all this set up and was just following the directions line by line.

Thanks vonskippy, I'm at the next step so you helped!
