In /common/config/main-local.php you set your database settings:

'components' => [
        'db' => [
            'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
            'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=DATABASE_NAME',
            'username' => 'DATABASE_USER',
            'password' => 'DATABASE_PASSWORD',
            'charset' => 'utf8',
        ],

The installation guide for advanced template is here: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced/blob/master/docs/guide/start-installation.md

The advanced template has environments that each define the target specific configuration. Basically after cloning the template you need to make sure you setup the files under the environments-folder correctly (it comes with dev and prod predefined configurations - for development and production environments). In the config subfolders you'll find the *-local.php files that indicate configuration specific to that environment. For the database you have to look in common/config/main-local.php.

After you're done with that, just navigate back to the templates' root folder and run ./init. It will ask you which environment you want and put the files in place. Switching to another environment is just an ./init call away.

Obviously you're not obligated to keep on using the environments if you don't have use for it, you might as well modify the /common/config/main.php file and add the connection info there. But given that the advanced template assumes multiple deployment stages for your application it is a very good setup.
