# Setup Wizard Walkthrough
|
|
|
|
This page will guide you through each step of the setup wizard.
|
|
|
|
## Select Language
|
|
|
|
Select your preferred language for the rest of the setup. This setting only affects the client you are using. Server-wide language settings will be configured later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup Administrator Account
|
|
|
|
Set up an administrator account for managing the server. Choose a strong password for better security. You are able to create more user and administrator accounts once you finish the setup wizard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Add Media Libraries
|
|
|
|
Add media libraries at this page. Click on the + to add a library. Alternatively, click on "Next" without adding anything to skip this step and add media later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the popup, chose a type on the "Content Type" dropdown, and set a display name in the "Display Name" field. Then, add some folders using the + button. If you don't see your media folders listed, you might have permission issues. You can get help on our [forum](https://forum.jellyfin.org/) or [chat rooms](/contact)
|
|
Read more about media libraries at the [media libraries' documentation](/docs/general/server/libraries/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Set a Preferred Metadata Language
|
|
|
|
Select a preferred language and region for metadata fetching as the server-wide default. Metadata from other language / regions may be fetched if metadata is not available with your preferred settings. This can be further customized on a per-library basis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Networking Settings
|
|
|
|
Some basic options for networking can be set on this page. For most users, it is recommended to **enable** the "Allow remote access to this server" option, and **disable** the "Enable automatic port mapping" option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
