    You have to install mysql2 adapter for working mysql with RoR.
    Use this command to install the adapter.

    gem install mysql2

    then create the project with

    rails new MyProject -d mysql

    this will create your project with MySQL as database.
    after that in database.yml file you can edit your username, password for MySQL.
