Ubuntu

The latest versions of Ubuntu already have OpenLP, you simply need to open the Software Center, search for OpenLP and click to install it.

Open up Software Center by clicking on the 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 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 may be asked for the administrator password several times through this process.

When you have the Software Center running simply search for OpenLP and click Install.
