SQL workbench Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:3306 (2003)

hello all i am currently taking a course in database management and im to be using SQL workbench i have downloaaded it from this link:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
and i want to create a SQL script but i cant connect to the local server to see if it runs properly on the database I keep getting this error “Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:3306 (2003)”
aparently its a problem with configuring the database software on linux but i havent found any related articles on ask fedora
anyone know how to fix the error?

Hello,
Do you have running SQL daemon (systemctl status…)
Try in console: telnet 127.0.0.1 3306

Regards.
