# Building CoNekt

## Using the admin panel to build CoNekt

Make sure *LOGIN_ENABLED=True* in *config.py* and the database was build 
with and admin account (check [here](install_linux.md) for instructions 
how to add an admin account). 

Make sure your server **doesn't time out requests**, some operations can take several 
minutes. If your server is live already running build steps can result in issues for 
active users. To avoid this consider running and extra CoNekT instance
on the server using the built in web-server and connecting to it using an SSH tunnel.

To start building, go to the website, log in and (once logged
in) click on the username (admin) in the top right corner. Select 'Admin
Panel' from the drop-down menu.

The Admin Panel will welcome you with a large warning. Deleting data, 
overwriting or changing entries here can ruin a carefully set up 
database. Make sure to read instructions on pages and this documentation
to avoid losing work. 

**When working with an existing database, make sure
to back up the database before proceeding.**
