+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/callicoder/spring-boot-mysql-rest-api-tutorial.git
+```
+
+**2. Create Mysql database**
+```bash
+create database notes_app
+```
+
+**3. Change mysql username and password as per your installation**
+
++ open `src/main/resources/application.properties`

+```
+
+The app will start running at <http://localhost:8080>.
+
+## Explore Rest APIs
+
+The app defines following CRUD APIs.
+
+    GET /api/notes
+
+    POST /api/notes
+
+    GET /api/notes/{noteId}
+
+    PUT /api/notes/{noteId}
+
