## Creating an admin account
### In the browser
After signing up in the browser, you will need to use the command line to give your newly created account admin privileges. Assuming your username is `alice`:
```bash
RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl accounts update alice --role admin
```
### From the command line
You can create a new account using the command line interface.
```bash
RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl accounts create \
alice \
--email alice@example.com \
--confirmed \
--role admin
```
A randomly generated password will be shown in the terminal.
## Filling in server information
After logging in, navigate to the **Site settings** page. While there are no technical requirements for filling in this information, it is considered crucial for operating a server for humans.
|Setting| |
|-------|-|
|Contact username|Your username so people know who owns the server|
|Business e-mail|An e-mail address so people locked out of their accounts, or people without accounts, can contact you|
|Instance description|Why did you start this server? Who is it for? What makes it different?|
|Custom extended information|You can put all sorts of information in here but a **code of conduct** is recommended|
After you fill these in, simply hit "Save changes".
