[Merge] lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp/documentation

 

Wesley Stout has proposed merging lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp/documentation.

Requested reviews:
  John Cegalis (jseagull1)
  OpenLP Core (openlp-core)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/60795

Added installation for Ubuntu Unity/Gnome, CLI and for Fedora GNOME, I need to get the CLI and KDE for Fedora, and also Kubuntu. I plan to cover Arch since OpenLP has a spot in the AUR. What other distros need documentation for installing? With this mainly like to see if you guys think this is ok so far, you can see it built at http://204.116.127.107/openlp/html/installation.html

I gotta check my spell checker!!!

-Installation process on Linux distributions vary by distribution. See the OpenLP `download page <http://www.openlp.org/en/download.html>`_ for distribution specific instructions.
+Setting up OpenLP varies by distribution, we have included documentation on
+popular distributions or distributions that have OpenLP available from their
+package managers. It should be possible to get OpenLP running on 
+nearly any linux distribution.
+
+Ubuntu
+^^^^^^
+
+Installation of OpenLP on Ubuntu can either be done through the Software Center
+or the command line. Command line instructions will be included at the end of
+this section on Ubuntu and its variants.
+
+Open up the software center by clicking on the :guilabel:`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 :menuselection:`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 will be asked for the
+administrator password several times through this process.
+
+We will first need to add the OpenLP Personal Package Archive (PPA) to your
+system. Go to :menuselection:`Edit --> Software Sources`
+
+.. image:: pics/1softwaresources.png
+
+Click on the :menuselection:`Other Software` tab then click on the 
+:guilabel:`Add...` button to add the new software source.
+
+.. image:: pics/2othersoftware.png
+
+Add the APT line::
+
+  ppa:openlp-core/release
+  
+Click :guilabel:`Add Source`
+  
+.. image:: pics/3aptline.png
+
+You will now need to restart the Software Center to refresh the package list.
+when you have it back to running simple search for OpenLP and click 
+:guilabel:`Install`.
+
+.. image:: pics/4searchopenlp.png
+
+You will now see the install progress as OpenLP and the dependencies required
+for it to run are downloaded.
+
+.. image:: pics/5installprogressubuntu.png
+
+After installation you should see that OpenLP is installed.
+
+.. image:: pics/6installcompleteubuntu.png
+
+You can now run OpenLP by either searching for it in the `Dash`, or clicking on
+the category `Media Apps` in Unity. If you are running the Classic Desktop you 
+will have OpenLP available by clicking 
+:menuselection:`Applications --> Sound and Video --> OpenLP`
+
+Ubuntu Command Line Install
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following install procedure should work across all Ubuntu variants. We will
+first need to add the Personal Package Archive (PPA) to Ubuntu's software 
+sources. From a terminal type::
+
+  user@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openlp-core/release
+  
+Now we need to refresh the package list::
+
+  user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
+  
+Install OpenLP::
+
+  user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install openlp
+
+OpenLP should now be available in your desktops menu system, but if you wish 
+to run OpenLP from the command line type::
+
+  user@ubuntu:~$ openlp
+
+Fedora (GNOME)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Installing with Fedora we will use the default Add/Remove Programs available
+from :menuselection:`System --> Administration --> Add/Remove Programs` in 
+Fedora 14 and below or in :menuselection:`Applications --> System Tools --> 
+Add/Remove Programs`
+
+.. image:: pics/1fedoraaddremove.png
+
+Search for OpenLP in the search box
+
+.. image:: pics/2fedoraaddremove.png
+
+Check the check box for OpenLP then click :guilabel:`Apply`
+
+.. image:: pics/3fedoraaddremove.png
+
+Click :guilabel:`Continue` to confirm installing any additional software.
+
+.. image:: pics/4fedoraadditionalconfirm.png
+
+You should now see the packages downloading in the lower left corner.
+
+.. image:: pics/5fedoraaddremove.png
+
+Click :guilabel:`Run` to run OpenLP now, or :guilabel:`Close` to run OpenLP
+later.
+
+.. image:: pics/6fedoracomplete.png
+
+OpenLP will be available in :menuselection:`Applications --> Sound & Video --> OpenLP`
+
+Fedora (KDE)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
