Regardless of the installation method, you'll need to create some users. GoToSocial currently doesn't have a way for users to be created through the web UI, or for people to sign-up through the web UI.
Using the CLI, you can create a user:
In the meantime, you can create a user using the CLI:
```sh

```sh
$ gotosocial --config-path /path/to/config.yaml \
./gotosocial --config-path /path/to/config.yaml \

```
Replace `some_username` with the username of the account you just created.

```text
time=XXXX level=info msg=connected to SQLITE database
time=XXXX level=info msg=there are no new migrations to run func=doMigration
time=XXXX level=info msg=closing db connection
```
This is normal and indicates that the commands ran as expected.
