The setup wizard, step by step

The setup wizard runs once, on a fresh install, to create your first super-admin account and capture a few core settings.

Opening the wizard

Browse to /setup on your install. If setup has already been completed, this URL redirects to the login page — the wizard cannot be used to create a second admin.

What the wizard collects

The wizard form has the following fields:

• Admin name and admin email for the super-admin account.
• Admin password, entered twice. The two entries must match and the password must be at least 8 characters.
• License key — pre-filled from the value the installer seeded, so you normally leave it as-is.
• Base URL — pre-suggested from the request; the public URL of this install.
• Company name — your MSP's name.

What happens on submit

1. The wizard creates the super-admin agent. Because you chose this password deliberately, it is not flagged for a forced change at first login.
2. It saves the base URL, company name, and license key into system settings.
3. It marks setup complete and primes the license status, then redirects you to the login page.

The wizard permanently locks itself once any user exists. The lock is enforced by a fresh database check at submit time, not just the UI.
