 ==== MyCNC Quick Start ====
+===Installing Ubuntu MATE 16.04 through LiveCD with preinstalled myCNC software===
+  *The LiveCD image can either be burned onto a DVD, or written on a USB disk through the use of [[https://www.balena.io/etcher/|Etcher]] or [[https://rufus.ie/|Rufus]] software. The LiveCD installation packages can be downloaded [[https://www.pv-automation.com/download|here]].
+  *Connect the power cable, the screen through the HDMI or VGA cable, keyboard, mouse and the LiveCD with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 to the computer
+  *When booting up the computer, hold the Delete key to enter the BIOS
+{{ :quickstart:bios1.jpg}}
+  *In the BIOS screen, navigate to the **Boot** tab
+{{ :quickstart:bios2.jpg}}
+  *Select the **Hard Drive BBS Priorities**
+  *For **Boot Option #1**, switch the SSD 32GB to KingstonDT 101 G2 PMAP
+{{ :quickstart:bios3.jpg}}
+  *Save & Exit by pressing F10. The boot-up will begin shortly
+  *In the popup window, select the **Install Ubuntu MATE** option
+{{ :quickstart:ubuntu1.jpg}}
+  *Select **Normal Installation**, and check the **Install third-party software** check mark at the bottom of the next screen
+{{ :quickstart:ubuntu2updates.jpg}}
+  *Select the **Erase disk and install Ubuntu MATE option** if you want to format the Windows partition, leaving only Ubuntu MATE on the computer
+{{ :quickstart:ubuntu3installationtype.jpg}}
+  *Select your timezone
+  *In the //Who are you?// screen, use **mycnc** as the username to access the presets that are applied during the installation of the myCNC software. NOTE: These presets include the **mycnc** user in groups such as dialout (scanners), sudo (security privileges of superuser), and sambashare (SMB/CIFS networking protocol for Windows). These presets are strongly recommended for novice users.
+  *Select the **Log in automatically** option

     * Changes should be applied on the fly and **UDP message counter** should start counting which means communication between Controller & Host works correct. {{mycnc::mycnc-quickstart-network-settings-01.png}}
   * Connect Pulse-Dir signals from servo or stepper driver to myCNC control board {{hardware:et6-stepper-driver-connection-001.png}}

This option can be convenient if use high performance servo drivers with low psed stepper drivers (for example high speed servos for X, Y, Z axes and low speed stepper for rotational A axis). myCNC-ET10 controller use only the first pulse width selector for all motor outputs.
