Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

This section describes the steps required to install and use xLights for the first time to create a sequence. The details of each step are covered in the respective sections covering that functionality. The examples use a Windows operating system but the process would be similar for Macintosh OS X, though the installation will be different.
