Step 1. Installation Settings 

When you launch Bamboo for the first time, you will need to provide some configuration information before you can start using it.


 

• 'Configuration Directory' — This is where Bamboo will store its configuration files.
• 'Build Data Directory' — This is where Bamboo will store its project data files.
• 'Build Working Directory' — This is where Bamboo will check out project files from source control.
  You may want to keep the default settings for the above three directories. Bamboo will default these directories to bamboo-home/xml-data/projects and bamboo-home/xml-data/configuration respectively. For more information please see 8.1 Locating Important Directories and Files.
• 'Server ID' — This is generated automatically by Bamboo.
• 'License Key' — You are required to enter a valid license key before you can use Bamboo. You will be emailed a 30-day free evaluation license when downloading an evaluation version of Bamboo. You can copy and paste the license key from the email into the text box.

Step 2. Bamboo Administrator

Here, you will enter the details of the first registered user to the Bamboo system. This user will have administrative privileges over the entire installation of Bamboo and should not be removed.

Step 3. Server Configuration

The final page of the setup wizard allows you to enter some final configuration data for Bamboo.

 
Once you have clicked "Complete Installation", the setup process is done and you are now at the Bamboo dashboard.
