+=== Create a Super User ===
+NetBox does not come with any predefined user accounts. You'll need to create a super user (administrative account) to be able to log into NetBox. First, enter the Python virtual environment created by the upgrade script:
+{{{
+# source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
+}}}
+Once the virtual environment has been activated, you should notice the string ''' (venv) ''' prepended to your console prompt.
+
+Next, we'll create a superuser account using the ''' createsuperuser ''' Django management command ''' (via manage.py) '''. Specifying an email address for the user is not required, but be sure to use a very strong password.
+{{{
+# cd /opt/netbox/netbox
+# python3 manage.py createsuperuser
+}}}
+=== Test the Application ===
+At this point, we should be able to run NetBox's development server for testing. We can check by starting a development instance:
+{{{
+# python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure
+}}}
+If successful, you should see output similar to the following:
+{{{

+Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
+}}}
+Next, connect to the name or IP of the server (as defined in ALLOWED_HOSTS) on port 8000; for example, http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You should be greeted with the NetBox home page. Try logging in using the username and password specified when creating a superuser.
+
+Type ''' Ctrl+c ''' to stop the development server.
