# Getting started on Tizen

This how-to guide describes how to set up a Tizen application using the Dolby OptiView Player SDK on Tizen.

You may also find the [Getting Started on Web](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-861/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/web/getting-started.md) to be useful.

## Set-up

For brevity, the set-up is split up over multiple pages:

* [Setting up Tizen Studio](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-861/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/tizen/installing-tizen-studio.md)
* [Generating a certificate](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-861/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/tizen/generating-a-certificate.md)
* [Setting up and deploying on a physical device (recommended)](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-861/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/tizen/setting-up-physical.md)
* [Setting up and deploying on an emulator (less recommended)](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-861/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/tizen/setting-up-emulator.md)
