Hello, I’m trying to install Discourse on localhost to play around. I succsfully did all the steps in the Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on Ubuntu for Development guide.

I connected to http://localhost:9292/ and it says:

On the following link Create Admin Account from Console it says to connect to Droplet by doing: ssh root@192.168.1.1.
What does it mean? I though Droplets are a thing in DigitalOcean (And I still didn’t purch a vps on DigitalOcean - just wanted to play around before buying). Where should I connect or how should I continue?

Thank you for the help

In the Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on Ubuntu for Development topic, an admin user should be created by following the step in the Create New Admin section. From your discourse directory run:

RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake admin:create

That command will open a prompt that asks for details about the account you are creating. Make sure to enter Y when it asks if you want to grant admin privileges to the account. Once that has been done, you should be able to login with your new admin account.
