# Onboarding

## Installation

How AlbumFiler is installed depends on where you downloaded it:

* **Mac App Store**: If you downloaded from the Mac App Store, the **AlbumFiler.app** will be placed in your **Applications** folder.
* **Gumroad**: If you purchased AlbumFiler from Gumroad, double-click on the Disk Image that you received and drag the **AlbumFiler.app** icon on top of the **Applications** folder alias.

## Welcome

The first time you run **AlbumFiler**, you will go through the onboarding experience. This is where you'll configure **AlbumFiler** for use with your Mac. There are several steps to go through, and you can't skip them all.
