You will find the official guides to installing on Ubuntu in the
source code or here:
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=tree
Look for the files called INSTALL.ubuntu and INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid

See the top of this page:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Installation
for an explanation of why it is a good idea to stick with the official
INSTALL.* files.

You need to replace password with the actual password for the root
mysql user. So if the password is XYZ it would be:

$ mysqladmin -uroot -pXYZ create kohadata

Even better is to just use

$ mysqladmin -uroot -p create kohadata

This will prompt you for the password interactively, and it will not
be left visible in the history of your shellcommands.
