We're excited to announce that the Setup Wizard is now available in both the [**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic/) and [**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui).

We are removing the **Integrate with Sumo Logic** tile, which offered only a limited subset of apps, and deprecating the old Setup Wizard in the Classic UI. To provide a clearer and more complete experience, you will now be directed to our **App Catalog**, where all supported apps are available.

If you are still using the older version and experience issues, contact [Support](https://support.sumologic.com/support/s).

The Setup Wizard (deprecated) lets you get data in your Sumo Logic account quickly. It guides you step-by-step based on the type of data you want to send. After data collection is running, the Setup Wizard installs a Sumo Logic App with pre-configured Dashboards that allow you to analyze your data. The Setup Wizard provides detailed instructions to help you with each step of the configuration.

## Upload log files

A great way to try out Sumo Logic for the first time is to upload a local log file. To do this, click **Upload Log Files**. You can upload up to 20 files and 100MB total per upload.

## Troubleshoot Setup Wizard issues

If you are having trouble installing a Collector and configuring a Source using the Setup Wizard, check the following issues.


### "Waiting for the Collector Installation" Message and Spinner

If you see the message "Waiting for the Collector Installation", the spinner never resolves, and the **Continue **button never becomes active, a previously installed Collector may be preventing the new installation.

You will need to uninstall the old Collector manually, then try to install a new Collector again. Steps on installing and uninstalling based on the operating system the Collector is run on can be found in the following links,

* [Linux](/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/linux)
* [macOS](/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/macos)
* [Windows](/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/windows)

If you are having trouble configuring a Source using the Setup Wizard, check the following issues.
