Installing OpenLP on Linux
==========================

Setting up OpenLP varies by distribution. We have included documentation on
popular distributions or distributions that have OpenLP available from their
package managers. It should be possible to get OpenLP running on 
nearly any Linux distribution.

Ubuntu
^^^^^^

Installation of OpenLP on Ubuntu can either be done through the Software Center
or the command line. Command line instructions will be included at the end of
this section on Ubuntu and its variants.

Open up the software center by clicking on the :guilabel:`Software Center` icon
in the Launcher if you are using the Unity desktop, or if you are using an 
older version of Ubuntu, or the Classic Desktop go to :menuselection:`Applications`
and select the Software Center from the bottom of the menu. You will need to 
be the administrator of the system to install OpenLP and will be asked for the
administrator password several times through this process.

First you will need to add the OpenLP Personal Package Archive (PPA) to
your system. Go to :menuselection:`Edit --> Software Sources`
