+### Setup
+
+Considering that it's been a while since I've set up MySQL and Pip, I thought
+I'd document some of the basics here again for my own sake:
+
+**Setting Up Mysql**
+
+I opted to setup mysql via docker instead of installing it on bare metal. Simply
+use the contained `docker-compose.yml` file with
+[docker-compose](https://github.com/docker/compose) to get a very basic mysql
+instance up and running:
+
+```sh
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Confirm it's running using `ps`:
+
+```sh
+docker ps
+```
+
+As long as it's up and running you can test it to be sure:
+
+```sh
+docker exec -it myjsql-basic mysql -u root -p
+```
+
+And put in the default root password from the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+**Virtual Environments**
+
+You'll want to install `pip` and also get a virtual environment running:
+
+```sh
+python -m venv .venv
+```
+
+```sh
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Once inside the virtual environment, upgrade the local `pip`:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+```
+
+And use that `pip` to install all the packages from `requirements.txt`:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Confirming MySQL Statements Were Executed:**
+
+From within the `docker exec`'ed mysql repl, for now just use `SHOW DATABASES`
+to ensure it went through:
+
+```
+mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+```
+
+You should see output like this:
+
+```
++--------------------+
+| Database           |
++--------------------+
+| employee_db        |
+| information_schema |
+| myapp              |
+| mysql              |
+| performance_schema |
+| sys                |
++--------------------+
