The mechanical installation of the booster synchrotron of ALBA started in January 2009 and finished by having the system under vacuum in April 2009. The preparation of the booster vacuum system for the installation (partial assembly with the pumps and instrumentation, bakeout, etc) started already in September 2008. For the storage ring, the main mechanical installation was done from May to September 2009. The average pressure in the booster synchrotron is in the range of low 10-9 mbar and in the storage ring is in the low 10-10 mbar. The preparation of the installation, the installation and the present performance will be presented in this contribution. The first round of the booster commissioning took place at the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. The first data of the booster vacuum system commissioning are presented as well.
