# Installation

## Before you start <a href="#before-you-start" id="before-you-start"></a>

* Current documentation was created to help you with quick installation and configuration of **WP News** application. Please, read it carefully to avoid most of potential problems with incorrect configuration.
* &#x20;Below chapter describes how to install Android SDK and Android Studio. You don't have to install Android Studio, but it's better. The project can be built without Android Studio, using Gradle and Android SDK. Gradle is a build system used for building final APK file.
* Once you will have activated the theme you will need to change some of the pages and settings for optimal performance. That's why, please, do not contact Support center beforehand. Read firstly the documentation, implement all the steps following the instructions and only after that, if the issues persist, contact us.
