Not so grand!  This means the user it is trying to create to grant database privileges is already there, and it won´t continue.  You should first make sure everything is clean of your previous attempts, or it will not proceed.

You should check mysql, and drop the user and the database if they exist before running that command again.

koha-remove can help you remove a previous installation attempt.
