Assuming you are installing CMSMS, assuming you are trying to install the latest...
Assuming also that you have read:
CMSMS Docs wrote:As mentioned in the requirements above. CMSMS requires a mysql database to store data, and user credentials to access it. The user account provided must have ALL PRIVILEGES to the database. You can normally create databases, and create user accounts for database from within your web host's control panel.

Have you created the database?
