# Running GRAMPS for the first time.

The first time you run the program, `GRAMPS` will display its Getting Started screens.

Figure 1. Getting Started screen, page 1

`GRAMPS` will guide you through a few pages that prompt you for some setup information. The information it requests includes information about yourself and your preferences.

Although `GRAMPS` requests information about your, this information is used only so that it can create valid GEDCOM output files. A valid GEDCOM file requires information about the files creator. If you chose, you may leave the information empty.
