+# First-Time Setup
+
+If you have a previous SM5 installation using GrooveStats Launcher, follow the [StepMania 5.1 to ITGmania Migration Guide](./sm5_migration.md).
+
+Otherwise, all you need to do is configure `GrooveStats.ini` in your profile folder as originally documented for the [GrooveStats Launcher](https://github.com/GrooveStats/gslauncher/blob/main/README.md). This can be done in one of two ways:
+
+1. Enter the Music Select screen when logged into a profile. This will automatically generate the file for you.
+2. Identify your LocalProfile, and manually create a GrooveStats.ini with the following contents:
+   ```
+   [GrooveStats]
+   ApiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
+   IsPadPlayer=1
+   ```
+   `IsPadPlayer=1` indicates that you are playing on a pad (and not a keyboard). If you're using a keyboard, then set this to 0. In that case your scores will not be submitted to GrooveStats, but other functionality will be active.
+
+To obtain your API key to make requests to the GrooveStats service, log into your GrooveStats account and visit the [Update Profile](https://groovestats.com/index.php?page=register&action=update) page to generate and copy your API key. Paste the API key after the `ApiKey=` in the `GrooveStats.ini` file.
