# Create a CPSH environment

A Collibra Platform Self-Hosted environment contains all the services that makes the Collibra platform operational for end-users. You can create multiple environments for different purposes, for example a development and production environment, but keep in mind that a service is always dedicated to one environment.

{% hint style="info" %}
With Collibra Console, you can manage many nodes, these are the services on which you have installed the Collibra services. These nodes must be installed with the same installer version as your Collibra Console.
{% endhint %}

## Steps

{% step %}
Open Collibra Console with a user profile that has the **SUPER** role.\ <i class="fa-chevrons-right">:chevrons-right:</i> Collibra Console opens with the **Infrastructure** page.

* The default address to access Collibra Console is *\<server hostname>:4402*, but you may have set another port during the installation of Collibra Console. Keep in mind that a firewall of your operating system can block the access to Collibra Console.
* The default credentials to sign in to Collibra Console are *Admin* / *admin*. We highly recommend that you [edit](https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Default.htm#cshid=DOC1516) the Collibra Console administrator's password after signing in for the first time.
