You then need to edit the database.yml file (in any text editor) to
properly link to your database etc. This file can be found in the
ProjectName\config\ directory. You will be presented with something
that looks like:
development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: ProjectName_development
username: root
password: your_password_here
host: localhost (modify if needed)
Once all this is set up, you just need to run the command:

It means what it says: don't set that database to be the same as your
dev/production database, because it will get erased automatically. You
do still probably want to change it, just don't set the database to be
the same as your production/dev ones.

It doesn't matter what database/username/password are, as long as they
match up with how mysql is setup (ie there is a database of that name
and the specified user can access it, using the specified password)
