php artisan migrate:install won't work - php

Question

I just started downloading laravel 5 today. Where I install my laravel in my desktop. When I try to create a database using laravel comman php artisan migrate:install and it give's me a error SQLSTATE[HY000] [1044] Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'forge' I tried a lot of examples on google but didn't work for me.
I follow on of the steps on the internet where I configure my .env file followed the array contain in database.php database to 'forge', username to 'forge' and password to ''
database.php
'connections' => [
'sqlite' => [
'driver' => 'sqlite',
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
'prefix' => '',
],
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
'engine' => null,
],
'pgsql' => [
'driver' => 'pgsql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '5432'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'schema' => 'public',
],
],
.env
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=base64:oqZ6S+IZANLCbszbhef9VSPqd/4rw22oT0mixzsflZo=
APP_URL=http://localhost
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=forge
DB_USERNAME=forge
DB_PASSWORD=''
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1

REDIS_PORT=6379
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

How can I create database just typing php artisan migrate:install and automatically create laravel_migration database in my localhost? Just saw this on the internet. But when I did this it didn't create for me.

As mentioned in the comments, the tutorial assumes you are using their development virtual machine. Since you're not, you need to start up MySQL and do the following:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS forge;
CREATE USER forge#localhost IDENTIFIED BY '';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON forge.* TO forge#localhost;
Once the database and user are created, you should be good to go. This should be part of their documentation...
