Creating an Environment
To create an environment, see PLATFORM - Installation and deployment > RDBMS Repository Installation Guide documentation.
You can also create an environment using modules available in HOPEX store, for example to start with a blank environment or with a set of demo data.
Creating an environment using a module
If your SQL server and HOPEX are installed on the same machine, you can create an environment using one of the HOPEX Databases backup modules available in HOPEX store:
• "HOPEX Databases backup – Starter” module matching your HOPEX version.
This backup contains no data, you can use it to create a blank environment.
• "HOPEX Databases backup - Demo - <HOPEX version>" module to get the set of demo data, useful to test HOPEX features.
To create a blank environment using a module from HOPEX store:
1. Create an environment (i.e. an HAS instance):
• Directly from the installation machine (or in RDP access), in Chrome go to http://localhost:30100/.
• Connect to HAS instance.
• In the Instances menu, click New instance.
• Configure the instance

See
HAS Installation > Creating HAS instance documentation.
• Click Start.
2. Add the "HOPEX Databases backup – Starter” module to your new environment:
• Log into the HAS console of your new environment.
• In the navigation menus, select Modules > Modules List.
• In the right pane, display the Add new page.
• Download the "HOPEX Databases backup – Starter” module version matching your HOPEX version.
