Invoking KBear for the first time will start the Setup Wizard. It consists of four sections: View Settings, Window Settings, Miscellaneous, and Firewall Settings.
These sections can also be found in the menu ->. The settings in these sections are fairly straightforward and most users can skip it right away and use the default settings. There is one exception though: users who are behind a firewall may need to setup this in the page Firewall Settings.
