## Alternative setup via Aidbox Portal
49+
50+
You can also start Formbox standalone from the Aidbox Portal and then sign in with the credentials generated for your instance.
51+
52+
### 1. Open the Aidbox Portal
53+
54+
Go to [Aidbox Portal](https://aidbox.app/ui/portal#/).
55+
56+
Sign up for a new account or log in to an existing one.
57+
58+
### 2. Create a Formbox license
59+
60+
Click **New license** and fill in the following fields:
61+
62+
- **Product**: `Formbox`
63+
- **License type**: choose the type you need
64+
- **License name**: enter a name for your license
65+
- **Hosting**:
66+
- **Sandbox** — use Formbox in the cloud without Docker
67+
- **Self-hosted** — run Formbox locally with Docker
68+
69+
Click on **"Create"** button.
70+
71+
If you choose **Sandbox**, wait until the page finishes loading. After that, the product will be ready to use.
72+
73+
If you choose **Self-hosted**, the portal will show the next setup steps for local launch:
74+
75+
After the license is created, you will be redirected to the **Product Summary** page.
76+
77+
### 3. Run Formbox locally
78+
79+
On the **Product Summary** page, copy the command from the **Run me locally** field and run it in your terminal.
80+
81+
After the installation completes successfully, the output will show the local URL where Formbox is running ([http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080) is used by default).
82+
83+
### 4. Open Formbox in the browser
84+
85+
Copy the local URL from the terminal output and open it in your browser.
86+
87+
### 5. Sign in
88+
89+
Enter the login and password shown on the **Product Summary** page.
90+
91+
After a successful sign-in, use the left sidebar to open **Aidbox Forms** and continue working in Formbox.
