John, The easy way is to use the Stepconf Wizard to generate a config for you. There is a Sherline Driver choice and a Sherline Outputs button that does all the hard work for you as you page through the wizard. Take a gander at the getting started guide. It tells you how to create a desktop shortcut for your new config after you get done with the wizard.
