# Install OSCAR. This process differs for each type of computer, [[#Download and install|see below]] for details.
# Run OSCAR and select where you want OSCAR to save your data when it asks you. You can simply accept its recommendation.
# If you've been using SleepyHead, [[#OSCAR data folder and migrating Migrating or copying SleepyHead data|see below]] for how to migrate your previous SleepyHead data. Otherwise, see "[[Running OSCAR for the first time]]" to set up a new profile and import the data from your machine.
==Download and install==
OSCAR is open source software, and there are links to the source code near the bottom of the page. Note that this is for software developers - the great majority of users don't need to worry about the source code.
== OSCAR data folder and migrating SleepyHead data ==OSCAR needs to set up a folder to store your data in. It can also migrate your existing SleepyHead data across Click '''OK''' to accept the new OSCAR data recommended folder or '''No''' to select an alternative folder. <br /><br />* Details here: [[Migrating SleepyHead File:Oscar datadialog.png]]<br /><br /> <br />
== Migrating or copying SleepyHead data ==If you have previously used SleepyHead, OSCAR gives you two options to bring your existing data across from SleepyHead to OSCAR:# '''Migrate''' your data - this is only done once during installation and copies all your SleepyHead data plus your profiles and settings to the new OSCAR data folder. This is the recommended procedure for the majority of users. Details here: [[Migrating SleepyHead data]]# '''Copy''' your data - this can be done anytime after OSCAR has been installed and run. Copying the data only brings the raw data from your CPAOP machine and doesn't bring across your profiles or settings. Copying only works if SleepyHead was set up to save a backup copy of your machine data. This process is a little more convoluted and is only recommended for users who are comfortable moving files around in their computer. Details here: [[Copying SleepyHead data (advanced Advanced users) ==]]
If Note that both Migrate and Copy leave the existing SleepyHead data untouched so you don't migrate your can still use SleepyHead data during the installation process, if you may be able wish to copy the raw data later. This is a little bit tricky and only recommended for advanced users.* Details here: [[Copying SleepyHead data (Advanced users)]]<br /><br /><br />
