With our server created we can now go ahead and set it up.
If you're on a Mac system you'll need to open terminal terminal can be used to execute command lines
to your server.
If you're on a Windows system you can use poddy you're not limited to these tools.
Feel free to use any command console.
You feel more comfortable using if you are using terminal.
The first thing you'll need to do is connect to your server to do so.
Type in S-sh root
and then you're going to need your IP address.
So remember we're using the floating IP
so I'm going to go ahead and copy that
I'm going to paste it and press enter.
You'll be prompted with a security message.
Just typing yes and press enter.
Now it's asking for your password.
So as I explained earlier you would have received an e-mail from Digital Ocean that looks something
like this.
It just confirms that your droplet is set up and ready to go and then it gives you your access credentials.
So in this case this is what your password is going to look like.
Of course it will be something different but that's the format.
And your user name is route.
We are going to be using the root account to set all this up so we can copy the password
and paste and then press enter.
So right away it's going to ask you to change your existing password.
So enter your current password.
So I'm going to right click and hit paste again.
Press enter and when you enter a new password that's secure but also easier to remember.
Now you need to retype your new password just to confirm.
So now you can see we're logged in as root user and you can also see the server name that we just signed.
When we initially deployed the server in Digital Ocean.
