Hi, all, I’m using the OpenMRS-SDK to install the OpenMRS Platform, but it reported this [error](https://pastebin.com/U67LUSW8). Can anyone help me fix it? Thank you very much! ---

@navareth I would suggest you select option 1 which is `1) MySQL 5.6 and above (requires pre-installed MySQL 5.6 and above)` if you installed Mysql or option 4 if you are running PostgreSQL ---

Not at all, I’m just using “tee” Unix command to redirect console output to a file. That’s why it doesn’t show any user input 😃 By the way, I’ve chosen 2 which is printed by the script later on ---

That of course works but that’s not the point. We’re just reporting that option 2 doesn’t work as of right now 🙂 ---

Yes, I have tried this option, but report this error. The following is what I enter The distribution requires MySQL database. Please specify database uri (-DdbUri) (default: ‘jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/@DBNAME@’): jdbc:mysql://locallhost:3306/openmrs Please specify database username (-DdbUser) (default: ‘root’): Please specify database password (-DdbPassword): ![Screenshot 2021-06-02 at 15.47.04](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f15d37f3e20f568b600d4ec94e5b9a44634e13df.png) ---

It would be helpful if you could include the full output of what you are running in [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) rather than a screenshot of a portion of the output, as @navareth did above. There isn’t really much information in that screen shot to enable anyone to help you diagnose what’s going on. ---

There’s a typo in the URL you are using (it needs to be `localhost` rather than `locallhost`). `jdbc:mysql://locallhost:3306/openmrs` should be `jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openmrs` (note that the `@DB_NAME@` placeholder is probably also usable here, e.g., just accept the default). Sorry I didn’t notice the typo before. ---

> [@ibacher](#): > > Would you be able to open a ticket for this in the SDK project? That definitely seems like some kind of bug. PS another workaround for this is to create the Docker image manually and use option 3. Something like this: ```auto docker run --name mysql-5 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD= -e MYSQL_USER=openmrs -e MYSQL_PASSWORD= -p 3309:3306 -h mysql-5 --restart unless-stopped -d mysql:5.6 --character-set-server=utf8 --collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci ``` ---

Sorry, although I fixed the typo error, there is still an error here [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/qPP1USCm). Besides, I also tried to use the default value for the whole option except the database password, and the error report is here, [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/r9y4MqQu) [Next page](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/why-the-sdk-can-not-find-this-plugin/33644.md?page=2)
