You need to download and install latest MySQL and Navicat.
When its done, run navicat, connect to localhost with root password.
Create database with name "rakion", and execute sql script that included in server files.

I recommend downloading SQLYog -- Its much more user friendly

Step 1) Download the latest version of MySQL
Step 2) Download SQLyog **NOT ENTERPRISE EDITION**
Step 3) Install Both of them, Remember your MySQL Password and Username (Recommended Username: Root)
Step 4) Log onto SQLyog with the username and password you used for SQL Installation
Step 5) Open the database file in your "Rakion Server Files"
Step 6) Create a Database in SQLyog called "rakion"
Step 7) Copy and paste all content from the database file you opened into the white box at the top of SQLyog (Its a big white box with the number "1" in it)
Step 8) Click the two green arrows on the navigational bar at the top
Step 9) Refresh the "rakion" database

Congratulations -- you have just setup the Rakion database ;)
