+Setup your database to host Airflow
+-----------------------------------
+
+Create a database called ``airflow`` and a database user that Airflow
+will use to access this database.
+
+Example, for **MySQL**:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+ CREATE DATABASE airflow CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
+ CREATE USER 'airflow' IDENTIFIED BY 'airflow';
+ GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON airflow.* TO 'airflow';

+Configure Airflow's database connection string
+----------------------------------------------

Once you've setup your database to host Airflow, you'll need to alter the
SqlAlchemy connection string located in your configuration file
``$AIRFLOW_HOME/airflow.cfg``. You should then also change the "executor"
setting to use "LocalExecutor", an executor that can parallelize task
instances locally.
