Hi Sandanad:
Thanks for getting started with LabKey Server!

Hopefully you were following the installation instructions available here for either Linux or Windows.
Once your local system is up and running, you'll go to http://localhost:8080/labkey and be prompted to create the first user account. You'll find lots more guidance after that in our documentation wikis.

I am not getting any user creation pop up.. I think there has to be user creation wizard set up for that..can you please share the details of configuration setup needed?

Hi Sadanand:

I'm consolidating all three threads here and again encourage you to read the forum guidelines for how to give us the information we need to be able to help you find answers.

There isn't a "user creation wizard" and you don't need to configure SMTP to use a local LabKey Server on your own local Windows, Mac, or Linux machine. Whether you obtained your local Community Edition LabKey Server from the Installation Binaries or the Embedded Tomcat Beta Installer, I hope you read and completed all of the installation instructions. They end with instructions to navigate to either http://localhost:8080/labkey/ (Installation Binaries) or https://localhost:8443/ (Embedded Tomcat Beta Installer). There you'll see either the option to create the first user account (the site administrator), or the home page if that first account has already been created. In the upper right of the home page you'll see 'sign in' if you are not already signed in. If you're trying to use a server that someone else installed, they will have created that first site administrator account and be able to create a user account for you. In any event, the home page includes links to documentation, tutorials, and other resources to get you started.

I highly encourage you to reach out on our website with details of what you are hoping to accomplish with LabKey Server. We offer cloud-hosted servers and personalized professional support with our Premium Editions that might better suit your needs.

In the upper right of the home page image you sent, you can see 'Sign in', meaning the first user account already exists. If you can't sign into it, either someone else is the site admin who can grant you access, OR perhaps you made changes to the Dockerfile setup we provided in order to bypass creation of the first user account during startup, which also bypasses letting you set a password for that account. Without SMTP set up, this configuration would then require capturing and using a generated API key which you may not have intended to do.

If this is the case, please retry without bypassing that initial user creation process during startup (i.e. LABKEY_CREATE_INITIAL_USER should be empty/not set to any value; the README.md in that repo has much more detail). Then when you start up and first access the server URL, you will be prompted to create the first site admin account and set your own password.

If this is not enough help, please reach out on our website with details of what you are hoping to accomplish with LabKey Server. Once we know which of our lab management software solutions would be the best fit for your research, we can set up a cloud-hosted demo and login for you that would make it easier to get started.

Hi Mohara,
I tried to configure dummy smtp server, but it doesn't work. I have following environment variable configured in my quickstart_env.sh file.PFA environment variables from the file. Please let me know if it needs any modifications.

Hi Sadanand:

Please review the Community Forum Guidelines. We are unable to provide custom support for the Community Edition. We respond to questions on this forum as time allows, but expected response times should be measured in weeks, not days. Bumping or duplicating your post is not permitted. My previous suggestion to try again using only our defaults is the best advice I can offer here. I'm closing this topic.

Your next step is to reach out on our website with details of what you are hoping to accomplish with LabKey Server. Once we know which of our lab management software solutions would be the best fit for your research, we can set up a cloud-hosted demo and login for you that would make it easier to get started.
