# Manager - Setup Statelake

**Statelake** **Manager** is the door into Statelake - the top-level, umbrella executable application that enables you to create new configuration databases; access existing configuration databases; open and run **Designer**, and **Monitor**.

On your PC, the **Manager** executable **Manager.exe** can be found in **C:\Program Files\Flow Software\Statelake**. Double-click on the application to run.

::: info
**Statelake** may be installed in such a way that it is not possible for you to access it from your own computer. In this case, you will need to access it through the computer on which it has been installed. Your system or network administrator will need to provide you with remote access details to connect to the **Statelake** system computer.
:::

The **Manager** home screen window will open. It is split into 2 distinct parts.

On the left side are the selection bars for **Home** and **Config Databases**, and in the right panel the options for each selection are shown.
