Description

In the Quickstart, Set up MySQL Databases section, MySQL is assumed to be installed on the machine. However, it is missing from the Install Packages section. On my Debian test system, the mariadb-server package was required.

When copy-pasting the SQL queries, the mysql> prompt is copied as well, resulting in failing queries. In the Icinga DB docs, the prompt was prefixed with a #, making it copy-able.
