First-time user: Setting up DB?

I am stuck on the install wizard.

How do I configure the database? Do I create a “suitecrm” database on the backend and then enter those credentials into the fields and on the install wizard?

Or is the wizard asking for the SQL root permissions?

I tried it both ways, and suitecrm wasn’t able to create a db.
