First Run Wizard
When using OpenLP for the first time, the First Run Wizard will help you with setting up your installation. This is not a comprehensive setup but will give you the basics for first time use. This wizard will help you configure OpenLP for initial use.
Select Translation
You may choose the language translation you want to use or let OpenLP "Autodetect" it. Click OK after your selection.
The Welcome to the First Time Wizard dialog box will appear next. Click Next.
Activate required Plugins
OpenLP has many plugins you may choose to use. By default they are all checked except Allow remote access. These plugins are explained in detail in the manual under Media Manager. If you are not familiar with what the plugins provide, you should leave them checked and activated for your first time use. You may easily change your choice when OpenLP is running under Settings/Plugin List. Click Next.
Sample Songs
You may add Sample Songs to your song database. This is convenient if you are a new user and would like to see how the songs appear in the database and are formatted. If you already have songs in your database, adding these samples will not overwrite your database. You may check the box for English or Deutsch and click Next.
Sample Bibles
OpenLP comes with a number of free Bibles you may install. Click the box next to the Bible you wish to install. If none of these Bibles meet your needs, you may continue on without selecting any of them by clicking Next.
Sample Themes
You may add Sample Themes by checking the box next to the theme. As with the songs, this is useful if you are a new user and would like to see how the themes are formatted. You can easily delete the themes at a later time if you do not have a use for them. Click Next.
Default Settings
Default output display If you are connected to your projector or second monitor you will want to select Screen 2. If you are installing OpenLP and not connected at this time, you may change this in Configure OpenLP under the General tab.
Select default theme This box gives you the option of selecting your default theme. If you do not have any themes, you will not be able to make the selection. Click Next.
Setting Up
OpenLP will now setup the software with the selections you have chosen. Click Finish and OpenLP will start.
