DatabStudio empty demo

Start a fresh institution on your laptop in one command.

The empty demo boots the full DatabStudio backend with production migrations only — no sample data, no fake members, no pre-loaded patients. You create your first institution through a built-in setup wizard and grow it from zero.

Pick a type, start fresh

Nine institution types — one engine, three sectors.

Choose the type that matches your real workload. The Studio modules — Finance, School, Health — light up based on what you select.

Finance

3 types

COOPERATIVE

Member savings, loans, repayments, mandates.

MICROFINANCE

Short-cycle loans, savings groups, schedules.

EMPLOYER

Payroll-linked deductions and payouts.

Education

3 types

SCHOOL

Classes, students, attendance, fees, assessments.

RESEARCH_INSTITUTE

Cohorts, research departments, conference letters.

TUTORIAL_CENTRE

Prep classes, tuition, mock scores, certificates.

Health

3 types

HOSPITAL

Patients, appointments, visits, prescriptions, billing.

LABORATORY

Lab patients, scientists, test results, billing.

TEST_CENTRE

Anonymous flows, counselling appointments, letters.

One command, then a wizard

Unzip. Run one script. Create your first institution.

The bundle ships a self-contained backend JAR and platform-specific launch scripts. It spins up a Postgres container on a high port (no collision with anything else), boots the backend with production migrations only, and waits for you to create your first institution.

Optional guided onboarding
