First Run Wizard

When using OpenLP for the first time, the First Run Wizard will help you with setting up your installation. This wizard is not intended to be a comprehensive setup but will help you with the basics.

Select Translation

You can choose the translation you want to use or let OpenLP automatically select it based on your operating system locale. Click OK to continue.

The "Welcome to the First Time Wizard" dialog box will appear next. Click Next.

Activate Required Plugins

image

OpenLP has several plugins to choose from. By default, all plugins are enabled, except the Remote Access plugin. For more information on these plugins, please read the mediamanager section in the manual. If you are not sure of which plugins to enable or disable, leave the selection as is. You can easily activate or deactivate plugins later, when OpenLP is running, by going to Settings --> Plugin List. Click Next to continue.

Sample Songs

image

OpenLP provides some sample songs in a few languages for downloading and importing into your new song database. This is convenient for new users who do not have any songs yet. If you already have songs in your database, OpenLP will simply add these sample songs to your database, leaving your existing songs intact. Once you are happy with which songs you'd like, click Next.

Sample Bibles

There are also a number of free Bibles that you can download and install. Using the check box next to each Bible, select each Bible that you would like installed. If you do not wish to install any Bibles, simply leave them all unchecked. Once you are happy with your selection, click Next to continue.

Sample Themes

image

Some sample themes are also available for download and installation into OpenLP. As with the Bibles, simply check the check box next to each theme to select it. If you are a new user, these themes can help you understand how themes work. If you are happy with your selected themes, click Next to continue.

Default Settings

If you are happy with the selections you have made, click Next to continue to the next page.
