# Initialize the database

By default Tryton, use an SQLite database stored in the folder `db` of your home directory. This can be changed in the `database` section of the configuration <topics-configuration>.

Now creating a Tryton database is only a matter of executing the following commands:

    $ mkdir ~/db
    $ touch ~/db/test.sqlite
    $ trytond-admin -d test --all

You will be prompted to set the administrator email and password.

Once the database is initialized you can run the Tryton server:

    $ trytond

Connecting to the database using a Tryton client you will be greeted by the module configuration wizard.

We will continue with the anatomy of the module.
