What do I need to do to get started?
You will need a ThingsBoard server up and running:
- ThingsBoard Cloud: The fastest way to start with zero setup. Click for the North America or Europe region.
- Self-Managed Installation: Alternatively, you can manually install ThingsBoard using our guides for Windows (Docker) or Linux and macOS (Docker).
Log in to ThingsBoard
Open the ThingsBoard web interface.
- If you are using ThingsBoard Cloud, sign in with Google, GitHub, Apple, or your email address.
- If you are using a self-managed installation and imported the sample tenant account, sign in with the default tenant administrator credentials:
[email protected]/tenant
After successful authentication, you will be redirected to the ThingsBoard interface. All further steps in this guide are performed at the Tenant level.
