# MindsDB SQL Editor

MindsDB provides a SQL Editor, so you don't need to download additional SQL clients to connect to MindsDB.

## How to Use the MindsDB SQL Editor

There are two ways you can use the Editor, as below.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Self-Hosted Local Deployment">
    After setting up the MindsDB using [Docker](/setup/self-hosted/docker), or pip
    on
    [Linux](/setup/self-hosted/pip/linux)/[Windows](/setup/self-hosted/pip/windows)/[MacOS](/setup/self-hosted/pip/macos),
    or pip via [source code](/setup/self-hosted/pip/source), go to your terminal and
    execute the following:

    ```bash theme={null}
    python -m mindsdb
    ```

    On execution, we get:

    ```bash theme={null}
    ...
    2022-05-06 14:07:04,599 - INFO -  - GUI available at http://127.0.0.1:47334/
    ...
    ```

    Immediately after, your browser automatically opens the MindsDB SQL Editor. In
    case if it doesn't, visit the URL
    [`http://127.0.0.1:47334/`](http://127.0.0.1:47334/) in your browser of
    preference.
  </Tab>

Now that you are all set, we recommend you check out our **Tutorials** and
**Community Tutorials** sections, where you'll find various examples of
regression, classification, and time series predictions with MindsDB.

To learn more about MindsDB itself, follow the guide on
[MindsDB database structure](/sql/table-structure/). Also, don't miss out on the
