title: Demo Dataset

## Demo Dataset
A demonstration dataset is [available on GitHub](https://github.com/inventree/demo-dataset).
This dataset can be used to populate an empty database for demonstration purposes, to test and evaluate various InvenTree features.
It may also be useful to developers who need a dataset for developing and/or testing new InvenTree features.
!!! warning "Empty Database"
Loading demo data will cause errors if the database is not empty. Run `invoke delete-data` prior to importing the demo dataset if there are records existing in the database!
## Login Details
The default *superuser* login details for the demo dataset are:
| Username | Password |
| --- | --- |
| admin | inventree |
## Setup
Follow these instructions to setup an InvenTree instance with the demo data:
### Download Dataset
Download the demo dataset, e.g. using git:
```
git clone git@github.com:inventree/demo-dataset.git ~/inventree-data
```
!!! info "Data Directory"
For the purpose of these instructions it is assumed that the demo data repository has been cloned to ~/inventree-data.
### Initialize Database
You will need to configure an *empty* database before importing the data fixtures.
Follow the [installation instructions](./intro.md) to initialize a database using your backend of choice.
### Configure InvenTree Settings
You will need to adjust your InvenTree settings (either via environment variables or in the `config.yaml` file) as follows:
#### Media Files
Ensure that `INVENTREE_MEDIA_ROOT` points to the media files at ~/inventree-data/media
### Run Migrations
You will need to ensure that the database migrations are performed before importing records
```
invoke migrate
```
### Import Data
Now that you have an empty database (which has had the schema migrations applied) you can import the demo dataset:
```
invoke import-records -f ~/inventree-data/inventree_data.json
```
## Contribute
Contributions to the demo dataset are encouraged! A richer dataset provides a better demo experience and helps to showcase the various features available in InvenTree.
To contribute back to the InvenTree demo dataset:
### Import Data
Follow the directions above to create an InvenTree instance using the latest demo dataset
### Git Branch
Create a git branch for the demo-dataset repository
### Edit Data
Create / edit / update the InvenTree database and media files as required
### Export Data
Export the updated data, overwriting the original data file:
```
invoke export-records -f ~/inventree-data/inventree_data.json
```
### Create Pull Request
Create a pull request on the [demo-dataset repository](https://github.com/inventree/demo-dataset) with the changes you have made.
