$ vagrant up

4. Navigate http://192.168.50.4/ in your browser.

2. Boot up the virtual machine:

$ vagrant up

3. SSH into the virtual machine:

$ vagrant ssh

4. Login to MySQL:

$ sudo mysql -u root -p

When prompted to enter the password, type: root.

5. Create the MySQL table for WordPress:

mysql> create database wordpress;

Verify the creation of the database:

mysql> show databases;

6. Exit MySQL:

mysql> exit

7. Exit the virtual machine:

$ exit
