=======
|
|
|
|
|
Installation of OpenLP on Windows is much like most other software packages on
|
|
|
|
|
Windows, where a setup wizard guides you through the process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visit the `download page <http://openlp.org/en/download>`_ on the
|
|
|
|
|
`OpenLP website <http://openlp.org/>`_ to download OpenLP. When you download
|
|
|
|
|
OpenLP on Windows, Windows will ask you if you are sure you want to download
|
|
|
|
|
it. Be assured that our installer is safe, and has been tested by multiple
|
|
|
|
|
independent vendors who have certified our installer to be free of viruses and
|
|
|
|
|
malware.

Before the setup wizard starts, you are asked to select a langage. This is not
|
|
|
|
|
the language you will be using OpenLP in, it is simply the language you will
|
|
|
|
|
be using to install OpenLP.

Next you be asked to accept the license. This license is the reason why OpenLP
|
|
|
|
|
is free. To find out more about the license, please see the
|
|
|
|
|
`quick guide to the GPL <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html>`_
|
|
|
|
|
on the `Free Software Foundation <http://www.fsf.org/>`_'s site.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've agreed to the license, you can choose where to install OpenLP to.
|
|
|
|
|
This usually defaults to the best place, and it is recommended you leave it
|
|
|
|
|
as it is.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the next step you can select the name of the folder in your start menu
|
|
|
|
|
where OpenLP will put its links.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want the installer to put an icon on your desktop, you can do that by
|
|
|
|
|
checking the checkbox on the "Additional tasks" screen of the installer.

|
|
|
|

|
|
When the installer is ready to install OpenLP, it will show you a summary of
|
|
|
|
|
all the options you have selected. Click the Next button to install OpenLP.

The installer usually takes about a minute to install OpenLP. While it does so
|
|
|
|
|
it will show you the progress.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, once the installation is complete, you can check the "Launch OpenLP"
|
|
|
|
|
checkbox to run OpenLP once the installer has exited.
