Set it as default, don't change.

Samples and examples are configuring. 

Installation complete. 

This is the very first interface of MySQL workbench. Double click on "Local instance MySQL56".

Then it asking the password.

You are totally complete, then you can create your databases.

You can use either workbench or MySQL command line client. This is same as workbench, but it doesn't provide the friendly GUI. All the commands are same as workbench. I feel this is fast than workbench.
