+Within a browser go to your owncloud domain, then create an administrator account. The username and password can be anything, and ideally should be generated from a password manager.
237

238
+You will also need to enter database details:
239
+
240
+| Owncloud database user     | owncloudadmin       |
241
+| Owncloud database password | See the [[Readme]] file |
242
+| Owncloud database name     | owncloud            |
243
+
244
+After creating an administrator account then create a user account via the Users dropdown menu entry on the right hand side and log the details in a password manager. Give the user a quota suitable for the size of your microSD card or other storage.
245
+
246
+Log out from the administrator account and then log back in as the user you just created.
247
+** On Android
248
+Within F-droid search for *owncloud* and install the client. Also install *CalDAV Sync Adapter*.

256
+#+END_SRC
257

 By default a music player is installed into Owncloud, so all you need to do is to visit your Owncloud web site, select the *music* directory and then upload some music files. Afterwards you can select the *music icon* from the top left drop down menu and albums will then appear which can be played. If you want to share music with other users then you can select the *share* option from within the files view to make the tracks available.
