=== Start Eden ===
Once you've run the installer, and you just want to try your installation of Eden, without Eclipse, you can start web2py from the command line:
{{{
cd C:\<PATH TO INSTALLATION>\web2py
C:\Python27\python.exe web2py.py
}}}
N.B: Obviously replace Python27 with your own version of Python.

Or if you prefer, you can start it from the GUI (Graphical User Interface):[[BR]]
Click Start > My Computer.[[BR]]
Browse to the directory with "web2py.py" and the Eden program inside.[[BR]]
Double click the web2py.py file - this should start up web2py, which will look something similar to this:

Enter a one time admin password and hit "start server".
Then you can go open http://127.0.0.1:8000/eden in your internet browser to run Sahana Eden.

=== Getting the latest revision ===
Update your local repository from Github:
{{{
cd web2py\applications\eden
git pull
}}}
=== Set Your Repository to be able Contribute ===
See: wiki:DeveloperGuidelines/Git#SetUpEnvironment

1. Update your configuration file. (This is something you may need to check when you update your copy of Eden from Github.)
 1. Delete models\0000_update_check.py
 1. Rename models\000_config.py to something else.
 1. Start Eden as above -- you'll get a message saying a new 000_config.py was copied in.
 1. Edit that file. Compare with your saved old copy of 000_config.py and make any changes you need in the new one.
 1. These might include:
 1. Delete the FINISHED_EDITING_CONFIG_FILE line.
 1. Set the database type and connection info.
 1. Set up a mailer.
 1. Choose the template and prepopulate folders.
