# Installing Boundary Without Generated Resources
Initializing Boundary without generated resources for the first time can be a little confusing. How do you
create your first user and login to administer a Boundary deployment that has no authentication methods,
users, accounts, etc? This section describes how to get your freshly deployed Boundary installation off the
ground.
What are generated resources? When you run `boundary dev` or `boundary database init`, Boundary automatically
generates a number of resources to make getting started easier. Default scopes, auth methods, user, account, and
targets are just some of the resources Boundary will generate unless you tell it not to.
In a production or long-running environment, these resoures are not neccessary, but without them, managing
Boundary from scratch isn't straight forward. How do you create your first user and login to administer a Boundary
deployment that has no authentication methods, users, accounts, etc? This section describes how to get your freshly
deployed Boundary installation off the ground for non-dev environments.
