8. That’s it! Rabio should now be installed.

Creating Users

When running for the first time Rabio will ask for registration of super admin user. This is necessary because the system is empty of any data and the super administrator user has to set up the basic structure data.
Following the instructions on the first screen the system will drive the new user on the registration form.
The new super administrator user selects admins as the username. Email and password are necessary for the registration.
Once the registration of super admin user is complete you are able to login to the Rabio using the login form.
New users can registers following the link on the main directory /register.php
Administration of users is only done by a super administrator user through the available form Users on Structure menu section.

Structure of Data

When the super admin (or admin) user logins for the first time into Rabio, the basic structure for a project is empty.
There are four forms where the basic data structure should be saved.
The forms are located on STRUCTURE section of the menu and they are :

• Center Groups
• Centers
• Category Groups
• Categories

The financial structure model should be saved on these forms before budget, costs or any other financial activity will be recorded.
