=== Before You Start

This guide is based on the *{{book.project.name}} Demo Distribution*. Download the demo distribution before proceeding.

[NOTE]
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with {{book.project.name}} and that you are able to install and boot a {{book.project.name}} Server. For more information, see https://keycloak.gitbooks.io/getting-started-tutorials/content/[the Getting Started tutorials].

Ensure you have a {{book.project.name}} instance running; the default configuration is http://localhost:8080/auth[http://localhost:8080/auth]. After logging in to the
Administration Console, a page similar to this one is displayed:

.{{book.project.name}} Administration Console
image:../../{{book.images}}/getting-started/kc-start-page.png[alt="{{book.project.name}} Administration Console"]

The source code for the getting started tutorials can be obtained from the demo distributions. The authorization-related examples
are located at *${KEYCLOAK_DEMO_SERVER_DIR}/examples/authz*.
