### Microphone Setup

When you first open up Liteforms you'll be prompted to allow microphone access. If you don't see this prompt, you can change this setting via system preferences -> privacy and enable microphone support there.

### Download and Install

Download and install the Liteforms application from the requirements section above.

It should open automatically after install. Alternatively, you can launch Liteforms from the Applications folder, or via quick launch via `CMD + Space`.

From here, you can either select a Liteform and start a conversation, or you can select the "Create Liteform" button on the side nav to make you own, custom Liteform to talk to!
