Make sure you have database server up and running.

Run the following on your database host.

# mysql -uroot -p
password
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
mysql> create user zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost;
mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
mysql> quit;
On Zabbix server host import initial schema and data. You will be prompted to enter your newly created password.

# zcat /usr/share/zabbix/sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix -p zabbix
Disable log_bin_trust_function_creators option after importing database schema.

# mysql -uroot -p
