== Creating the first administrator
After installing {project_name}, you need an administrator account that can act as a _super_ admin with full permissions to manage {project_name}. With this account, you can log in to the {project_name} Admin Console where you create realms and users and register applications that are secured by {project_name}.
=== Creating the account on the local host
If your server is accessible from `localhost`, perform these steps.
.Procedure
. In a web browser, go to the http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} URL.
. Supply a username and password that you can recall.

=== Creating the account remotely
If you cannot access the server from a `localhost` address or just want to start {project_name} from the command line, use the `KEYCLOAK_ADMIN` and `KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD` environment variables to create an initial admin account.
For example:
[source,bash]
----
export KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=<username>
export KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<password>
bin/kc.[sh|bat] start
----
