Hello, I’m trying to install Discourse on localhost to play around. I succsfully did all the steps in the [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727) guide.

I connected to [http://localhost:9292/](http://localhost:9292/) and it says:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/2/722276204018b9eb945745d62c1cc14329e5664a.png)

On the following link [Create an admin account from the console](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-admin-account-from-console/17274) 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 [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727) topic, an admin user should be created by following the step in the Create New Admin section. From your `discourse` directory run:

```plaintext
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.
