 _LMS_ uses a configuration file, installed by default in `/etc/lms.conf`. It is recommended to edit this file and change relevant settings (listen address, listen port, working directory, Subsonic API activation, deployment path, ...).
 All other settings are set using the web interface (user management, scan settings, transcode settings, ...).
 If a setting is not present in the configuration file, a hardcoded default value is used (the same as in the [default configuration file](conf/lms.conf))
-## Authentication backend
+## Authentication backends
 You can define which authentication backend to be used thanks to the `authentication-backend` option:
 * `internal` (default): _LMS_ uses an internal database to store users and their associated passwords (salted and hashed using [Bcrypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt)). Only the admin user can create, edit or remove other users.
 * `PAM`: the user/password authentication request is forwarded to PAM (see the default [PAM configuration file](conf/pam/lms) provided).

+# First launch
+At the first launch, a setup assistant will guide you through creating the administrator account (username and password). Once this information is saved, you can refresh the page to access the LMS login screen.
+__Note__: If you are using PAM authentication via HTTP header, this setup assistant will not appear (see [Authentication backend](#authentication-backends)).
+
+Once logged in as an administrator, you will need to define your libraries—that is, select the music folders you want to scan. Then, check that the scan settings meet your needs (scan frequency, delimiter application, etc.).
+
+You can now initiate the initial scan to import your music into LMS.
