     1  ## Create the admin user
     2  
     3  When you first open the lakeFS UI, you will be asked to create an initial admin user.
     4  
     5  1. Open `http://<lakefs-host>/` in your browser. If you haven't set up a load balancer, this will likely be `http://<instance ip address>:8000/`
     6  1. On first use, you'll be redirected to the setup page:
     7     
     8     <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/setup.png" alt="Create user">
     9     
    10  1. Follow the steps to create an initial administrator user. Save the credentials you’ve received somewhere safe, you won’t be able to see them again!
    11     
    12     <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/setup_done.png" alt="Setup Done">
    13  
    14  1. Follow the link and go to the login screen. Use the credentials from the previous step to log in.
    15  
    16  ## Create your first repository
    17  
    18  1. Use the credentials from the previous step to log in
    19  1. Click *Create Repository* and choose *Blank Repository*.
    20     
    21     <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/create-repo-no-sn.png" alt="Create Repo"/>
    22     
    23  1. Under Storage Namespace, enter a path to your desired location on the object store. This is where data written to this repository will be stored.
    24  1. Click *Create Repository*
    25  1. You should now have a configured repository, ready to use!
    26  
    27     <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/repo-created.png" alt="Repo Created" style="border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;"/>
