Setup help for new users installing and running an OWL for the first time. Covers installation, required parts, configuration, and common setup issues.

This section is for first-time setup and problems that occur before a unit is fully running. It keeps early questions in one place so new users are not competing with advanced discussions.

Topics should focus on installation instructions, required components, supported devices, configuration steps, and troubleshooting issues that arise during the initial build or first boot.
