===Known Issues===
Be sure to read the [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:0.3_Release_Notes#Known_Issues Known Issues] section of the Sunbird release notes before using Lightning.
 
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351997 Bug 351997:] On Thunderbird 1.5.x Lightning will not be able to read invitations from Apple iCAL. However, this works with the Thunderbird 2.0 nightly builds.

===Installing Lightning===
Lightning runs as an extension to either [http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ Thunderbird 1.5.x] or [http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/releases/2.0a1.html#downloadandinstall Thunderbird 2.0 builds].
# If you have been using the old Calendar Extension, be sure to backup the ICS file that it put in your profile directory, and uninstall the Calendar Extension before installing Lightning.  After you have installed Lightning, you can then import your old events and tasks from backup ICS file.
# Right-Click the download link and choose "Save Link As..." to download and save the *.xpi file to your hard disk.
# In Mozilla Thunderbird, open the extension manager (Menu Tools->Extensions or Tools->Add-Ons)
# Click the Install button, and locate/select the file you downloaded and click "OK"
# Restart Mozilla Thunderbird
 
===Lightning with integrated [http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/index.xml Sun Java System Calendar Server] (WCAP) support===
Enhanced builds of Lightning with integrated WCAP support are available.  Note that unless you wish to use Lightning against a WCAP server, the regular vanilla builds of Lightning are probably what you are looking for.  For more details about why this is being shipped separately, see [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.calendar/msg/e9d111be964d343e this newsgroup posting].
