== Introduction ==
This tutorial is designed for people who have never touched XUL or XULRunner before and allow them to create a Hello World application on XULRunner. This tutorial will guide users in such a way that it will show users them how to create their firstapplication first application without knowing the being overwhelmed with details.
This guide will also help guide start the new pioneers of XULRunner understand XULRunner this technology and platform enough so that they are ready to take on more begin more complicated applications.
== Getting XULRunner package ==
/chrome
/content
/defaults
/preferences
For more information about this section please visit the following link: [[File/Folder Structure]]
== Setting up the application.ini file ==
Create a file called '''application.ini''' in the xulapp/ directory .

:*'''toolkit.defaultChromeURI''' is a preferences which allows a simple XULRunner-based application to open a new window
:*'''chrome://myapp/content/main.xul''' is the location of the main XUL file.
For the simplicity of this application, we're going to create a simple XUL window that says hello world.
Create a file called '''main.xul''' in the xulapp/content directory.

== Conclusion ==
Creating a Hello World application on XULRunner isn't is not a hard task. Writing this application does not require a heavy knowledge of XULRunner but if developers choose would like to write their own program which is more complex programs , they should have a better understanding of XULRunner.
To get started, please take some time to learn about XULRunner. The following link provides a simple yet intuitive guide on XULRunner, [[XULRunner_Guide_Outline | XULRunner Guide]].
