Install AmiBroker using its setup program - it is available for download from http://www.amibroker.com/download.html. After downloading, double-click on the program's icon. This will launch the setup program - you can safely accept all default values by clicking "Next" on each page and "Install" on the last page. By default, AmiBroker is installed to "C:\Program Files\AmiBroker" directory and this location is referred to as "main AmiBroker directory".
If the setup program asks you to restart your machine, please do so to allow it to replace system components.
After installation, you can start AmiBroker from Windows' standard Start->Programs->AmiBroker->AmiBroker menu.

In the default setup, you can see the toolbar, workspace window with symbol list on the left side, and chart windows on the right side.
The toolbar provides fast access to the most often-used program functions. With the symbol list view, you can select the active symbol. Changing the selection will cause a chart redraw and update in some information windows if they are open. The chart windows let you analyze current price trends and the behavior of technical indicators.
You can quit AmiBroker using the File/Exit menu item.
AmiBroker features a new context-sensitive help system, available by pressing F1 key anywhere in the program.
When you press F1 key while any window or any menu is shown, AmiBroker opens a relevant help file page describing the window or menu in question. No more searching through the help file.
In addition to using F1 context-sensitive help, it is highly recommended to read ALL Tutorial articles first. The answers to most common problems are given there. In case of a major problem, check Troubleshooting guide. Also, there is a "Search" tab on the left of this online help window that allows you to quickly locate information by keyword(s). Just type the word(s) you are looking for and click "Display".
