Setting up Vive for the first time
Before you can use Vive, you'll need to complete the setup process, which includes defining your
play area.
To begin, download and install the Steam app from http://store.steampowered.com/about/. You
will need to create a Steam account.
Once Steam is installed, or if you already have Steam, go to Library > Tools to install the
SteamVR app.
When done, the SteamVR app will launch. The Room Setup screen may also open.
SteamVR powers your Vive. Its main status window communicates the state of your VR system,
helps you diagnose issues, and provides access to SteamVR settings.
SteamVR can be launched directly from the Tools Library or by clicking the new VR button in the
upper-right-hand corner of the Steam client's main window.
