Just in case, maybe you're missing the very simple point that you create
the files yourself manually.  The program doesn't create files or add
accounts for you.  It takes a ledger file and outputs different
information from it.  This is unlike other accounting software you may
have used in the past.

So crank up your favourite text editor [1] and type in example entries
from the manual.  Then use the ledger command line tool to output
balances, registers, etc.

HTH,

Footnotes:
[1] I use Emacs which has a ledger-mode which makes entry much easier.
