Web Installation - Finally something I am familar with

This is the stage I has been looking forward to - a graphical interface. My goal was now to complete the web install and set-up of Koha.

• I accessed the Koha web installer through the staff interface, and retrieved the password and user name, guided by the Ubuntu instructions.
• I then followed the prompts to complete the setup. I encountered a few things I did not understand, however, and, as the installer didn't clearly explain what a lot of them did, I relied on Google to tell me what selecting this optional setting would do.

For example, I didn't know what "Matching rules for MARC 21" were, so I Googled it, and found section 4.7 of the Koha manual particularly enlightening. I did this for all the settings that weren't immediately obvious from their names, descriptions, and/or examples.

Now, finally, after many, many, many hours. I have two Koha web interfaces up and running: The OPAC, and the Staff/Administrator Interface, and they both work!

I learned that I much prefer a graphical interface to command line, and that with instructions I can achieve what I thought also impossible. Having experience this complete install I am much less afraid to try command line interfaces, as most problems it seems can be solved with a little research, and a lot of perseverance.
