# Installing digiRunner API Management

1. To install digiRunner API Management:
   * Go to our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/TPIsoftwareOSPO/digiRunner-Open-Source), and follow instructions in the `README.md` file.
   * Install digiRunner using [Docker compose](https://docs.tpi.dev/get-started/installation/docker-compose).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**digiRunner** supports two database modes:

* **Temporary Database (Default):** The application uses a built-in in-memory database for quick setup and testing. This mode erases all data when you close or restart **digiRunner**. Use it to explore features or run quick tests.
* **Persistent Database:** To preserve data across restarts, refer to the  [Docker Compose](https://docs.tpi.dev/get-started/installation/docker-compose) or [Docker](https://docs.tpi.dev/get-started/broken-reference) documentation for setup instructions. This ensures your data remains intact after application restarts.
  {% endhint %}

2. After completing the installation, open your browser and navigate to: `http://localhost:31080/dgrv4/login`
3. Log in using the default credentials:
   * Username: `manager`
   * User password: `manager123`
