### Admin UI

The admin adapter starts a web-server that hosts the Admin UI. Default port is 8081, so just open http://<iobroker>:8081/
If port 8081 is occupied, you can install second Admin UI on alternate port and change port for first admin UI:

* run ```./iobroker add admin --enabled --port 8090``` and go to the http://<iobroker>:8090/. Of course you can change port 8090 to other one.

### Install more adapters

* ```./iobroker add <adapter-name>```
* ```./iobroker add <adapter-url>``` (todo)

After Installation of an Adapter you should edit it's configuration. Go to the tab "instances" in the Admin UI.
By clicking a adapter instance you can directly enable it by checking the enabled checkbox. Press enter to save or escape
to cancel.
To edit the adapters configuration mark the adapter row and click the note icon.
To enable or disable the adapter click on the pencil icon in the according row.
