MediaSoft.EnterpriseAppBuilder provides an advanced setup tool that initializes the application's installation process for the first time the application run.

When the application runs for the first time, the MediaSoft.EnterpriseAppBuilder generates and configures data based on database entity models.

After database creation, the app redirects you to the installation page which will help you 

• Create a primary domain for your application
• Create root pages e.g home, signin, signup, forgot password, etc for your primary domain.
• Initialize and configure website-shared data e.g Languages, Mail Templates, Default Theme, and Layouts, Subscription Packages and others
• Create Super Admin with all permissions to access Admin Control Panel for further managing your application.
• And at the end, you can manage website settings for every specific content and module.

When the database creation phase is completed, the application will redirect you to the setup application panel as shown in the screenshot below. Clicking on “Start Setup” button will initiate the installation process.

This will setup a primary domain for your application along with all pages, configurations, data, and settings. The primary domain is a default domain for applications you can later add and manage more domains via the admin control panel.

Once the primary domain phase is completed, set up open another panel that can allow you to create “Super Admin” with the authority to access Admin Control Panel with full rights and permissions.
