<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hi Spiri<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Koha is a fully-fledged library automation system, so installing it is always going to be a complicated job, especially if you’re not familiar with the technologies involved. As Lynn mentioned,
there are other applications out there that might suit the situation you’re in; they’ll help you set up a library with some basic functionality and minimal setup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">However, if you have the time, energy and inclination, it is well worth trying to set up a Koha system: You’ll be learning some valuable skills in Linux and related technologies and also getting
a good look at how a library automation system works.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">There are thousands of web sites out there with introductions on how to use various Linuxes (a quick Google search sent me to this one, for example:
<a href="https://fusion809.github.io/linux-for-windows-users/">https://fusion809.github.io/linux-for-windows-users/</a>). You’ll likely have to do a lot of reading before you’re up to trying to install your first Linux system. Once you have that under your
belt, you still have to install Koha: There is a lot of community-driven documentation (the wiki at
<a href="https://koha-community.org/">https://koha-community.org/</a>, manuals at
<a href="https://koha-community.org/documentation/">https://koha-community.org/documentation/</a>, the database schema at
<a href="http://schema.koha-community.org/">http://schema.koha-community.org/</a>, and so on) so again you’ll need to do a lot of reading.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Either way, good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure if I am using the right email so if I am not please guide me accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am volunteering at a not for profit org in Melbourne and they would like to set up a library from scratch. I knew Koha existed from TAFE library course and thought it would be an easy download and I would be able to show them how it
works. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I am struggling as I am on a windows 10 and I can’t find easy to use instructions on how to install. I did download a virtual program and then used some instructions but I keep getting an error as I think they are based for an
old windows operating system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there someone that can point me to step by step at all? I am tech savy but not Linux, virtual, Debian, etc tech savy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be appreciated as I do want to help get their library up and running with as little cost as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
