+### Set up a TestBed instance yourself

+If you need to set up a TestBed instance by yourself, there are some several steps you must do.
+Go to [http://localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000) and log in. When logging in for the first time, the credentials can
+be found in the logs of the UI container. If logged in, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Create a _community_. (If you want to use the REST API, this is required, otherwise, this can be omitted)
+2. Create a _domain_, which **can** be linked to the created community
+3. Create in the domain a _specification_
+4. The _test suite_ that will be created later on in this tutorial can be uploaded in this specification
+5. Create an _organisation_
+6. Create a _system_ in the created organisation
+7. Create _statements_ in the system based on the testsuite uploaded into the specification
+8. Now the _test session_ based on the statements can be run
