Authoring Tool Configuration

During installation of the Adapt authoring tool, a script is executed by running the command node install.

One task of the install script is to gather input for configuration variables. Below are the questions that you will encounter and comments that seek to clarify your input.

Tip:
Most configuration questions will appear with a default answer already in place. Most times you can simply accept the default value by pressing the Enter key. The only input you are required to provide are an email address and password for the super user account. The super user's email address and password will be used to login to the authoring tool.
