First, you posted this to the documentation development list, not to the
user list. Questions like this go to lyx-users@lists.lyx.org. You'll
want to join that list, too, and maybe get off the documentation list.
The LyX Tutorial, which you can find under Help>Tutorial, will answer
this question and many more. (Maybe you should read Help>Introduction
first.) After you've read the tutorial, you might want to have a look at
Help>User's Guide.
That said, do this:
1. Open LyX.
2. File>New
3. Type "This is my first LyX document."
4. View>PDF (pdflatex)
This should compile the document and show you the pdf. If you want to
see the LaTeX that LyX produced, then:
5. View>View Source
6. Check the "Complete source" button.
And if you want a copy of the pdf:
7. File>Save (and choose a place to save it)
7. File>Export>PDF (pdflatex)
That'll dump a copy of the PDF in the same directory as where you saved
the file.
