This topic shows you how to install the "Demo Study", an example observational study which you can use in a number of ways:
- to explore study features as an administrator, using fictional data
- as a sandbox to develop datasets and reports
- as a template study to be modified and cloned
The fictional example study contains:
- Datasets that record the effects of HIV on the human immune system, such as CD4 and lymphocyte counts.
- Datasets that compare different treatment regimens.
- 12 participant profiles, including birth gender, age, initial height, etc.
- Physiological snapshots over a three year period (blood pressure, weight, respiration)
- Lab tests (HIV status, lymphocyte and CD4+ counts, etc.)

Download and Install the Tutorial Study
To begin:
- Download this folder archive zip file but do not unzip it:
- Navigate to a project where (1) you have administrator permissions and (2) where it is appropriate to upload test data. Your own "Tutorials" project is one option.
- In that project, create a folder named "HIV Study" of type "study".
- On the New Study page, click Import Study.
- Confirm Local zip archive is selected, then click Choose File. Navigate to and select the "ExampleResearchStudy.folder.zip" file you downloaded.
- Click Import Study.
- Wait for LabKey Server to process the file: you will see a status notification of Complete when it is finished. You might see a status of Import Folder Waiting on a busy or shared server. If the page doesn't update automatically after a few minutes, refresh your browser window.
- Click the HIV Study link near the top of the page to go to the home page of your new study.
