This question should be first asked on the wordpress list, not here. Some
of the wordpress devs do haunt the debian lists, but you'll just get better
answers there.

Yes. There is an easy way and many ways to easily make it way harder than it
should be.

It will be much easier to figure the database part out with wordpress
installed and running. You can set it up for access only from the local
machine, and then you can play around with the files as you like.
Much easier to make progress when you have the thing in front of you,
running.
If you have, for example, other mysql/maria database stuff on the
machine, you can set up wordpress to not conflict, with help from the
people on the wordpress list.
And if you have questions they can't answer, we may be able to help
you here. Or we may send you to the mysql list.
(I personally have found that shying away from signing onto new
mailing lists has caused me more trouble than keeping track of the
new passwords, etc.)
