After installation, you will need to launch the created icon "Navicat for MySQL". To create a new connection, enter the corresponding menu item (File - New connection). The name of the server is entered in the Connection Name field, the host can be left localhost. The username is root, the password is the same that was specified during the MySQL installation. Then, on the created connection, right-click and select "New Database". This will create a new DB. It is advisable to name it by the same name as the server.
