On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS rather than prompting you to set a password for MySQL server when installing this as a dependency, it just installs it without.  However, this means on the root user can login to MySQL to add a database.  As "epadmin create" runs at the eprints user, this will not be able to create a database for EPrints.  The get round this as the root user connect to MySQL (just type "mysql" at the command line) and type the following two commands.  You will want to set your own password (i.e. not 'changeme') , you may also want to restrict which databases the eprints user has control over.  If you know the "Archive ID" you are going to use.
