+Up and running in 10 minutes or less!
+------------------------------------
+
+LibreTime is quick and easy to install and get running. Follow this guide to go from zero
+to full internet radio station in 10 minutes!
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- minimum 1 Ghz Processor, 2 GB RAM, and a wired ethernet connection
+- Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS
+- git, ntp installed and configured with the correct localization
+
+## Preparing the server
+
+Configure the server to have a static IP address by modifying the Netplan configuration.
+
+```
+cd /etc/netplan && ls  # find the netplan filename
+sudo nano ##-netcfg.yaml
+```
+
+If the Netplan configuration is empty, fill in the file with the example below. Otherwise,
+input the IP address reserved for the server in `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy` format, the gateway (the IP address
+of your router), and the DNS nameserver. If you don't have a nameserver on your network,
+feel free to use Cloudflare's: `1.1.1.1` and `1.0.0.1`.
+
+```
+network:
+  version: 2
+  renderer: networkd
+  ethernets:
+    enp3s0:
+      addresses: [192.168.88.8/24]
+      gateway4: 192.168.88.1
+      nameservers:
+        search: [lan]
+        addresses: 192.168.88.1
+```
+
+Next, configure Ubuntu's firewall by running:
+
+```
+sudo ufw enable
+sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 8000/tcp
+```
+
+## Installing LibreTime
+
+This part is suprisingly easy. Just enter these commands in the terminal:
+
+```
+cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime.git
+sudo ./libretime/install -fiap
+```
+
+After the install is completed, head to `localhost`
+to complete the installation wizard. You don't have to change any passwords immediately if you
+don't want to, although it is strongly recommended if you plan to attach the server to a domain
+that would allow you to access it from ourside your station's network. You will need to enter
+a few commands in the terminal, but don't worry, the guide will walk you through it.
+
+## Scheduling your first show
+
+Log in using your username and password using the link in the upper right corner. (If you just installed
+LibreTime, your username/password is admin/admin.)
+
+The main workflow in LibreTime is *Upload* media -> create a show on the *Calendar* -> *Schedule Tracks*.
+
+Once you log in, click on the big blue button on the left navigation that says *Upload*.
+
+![](img/Select_files.png)
+
+Select the type of media you are uploading (Music, Station IDs, etc.) by using the dropdown box
+at the top of the pane. After that, either drag and drop media into the area below or click the
+dashed rectangle to open a file browser.
+
+Once your files have uploaded and have been successfully imported (as shown in the pane on the right),
+click on *Calendar* on the left navigation.
+
+![](img/Screenshot558-Add_Show.png)
+
+Click on the blue *+ New Show* button to add a new show.
+
+![](img/Screenshot560-Show_when.png)
+
+At the very minimum, fill out the show's name and when the show will take place. If the show will repeat regularly,
+check the *Repeats?* box and fill out the repeat information. Click on the grey *+ Add this show* button at the top
+of the pane to add your show to the calendar.
+
+Once your show is created, click on it to open its context menu. Select *Schedule Tracks* to open the track scheduler.
+
+![](img/Screenshot561-Add_show_content.png)
+
+The track scheduler behaves similar to iTunes or Windows Media Player: media browser on the left, playlist on the right.
+Find the tracks that you'd like to schedule by using the search box or sorting columns and then drag them
+into the playlist.
+
+![](img/Screenshot562-Drag_show_content.png)
+
+Keep in mind the bar at the end of your show's playlist. It will show the amount of time your show is under- or
+over-scheduled. Shows that are underscheduled will have dead air at the end and shows that are overscheduled
+will fade out exactly when the show is over (orange colored entries), meaning tracks scheduled to start
+after this point will not play (dark red colored entries). Click the *Ok* button in the bottom right to save.
+
+Show playback will start and end as per each show's start and end times, allowing you to rely completely on
+LibreTime for running your station or using LibreTime as a part of your live setup to cover when DJs are not present.
+When media is playing back, the *On Air* indicator at the top will turn red.
+
+![](img/Screenshot563-Listen.png)
+
+You can listen to your stream by going to `localhost:8000` or by clicking the *Listen* button under the On Air
+indicator. Congratulations! You've successfully set up LibreTime! We're so proud of you. :)
