How to use Scid chess?

Didn't mean to be rude. But in order to know how to use SCID you need to read the manual. And that is how you do it.
It's actually a very good manual. I use it by myself but your question is far too generel that I could answer it.

Here is a nice Video I watched, which is originally made for Scid vs. PC but it works with Scid too.

Hi.
Thanks.
For example i have this "Play/Training/Openings" ok, to the windows is open. Scid tell me "open first a repertoire database with icon/type set to the right side"....... so... how i do that?

(i dont speak english).
This is described in the manual, under Opening Trainer window section.

Open a database, File → Open... (or Ctrl+O).
Then go to Database → Maintenance → Maintenance Window (or Ctrl+M).
Click on the icon in the top left corner, where it says "Database:"
Scroll down and select "Openings for White", "Openings for Black" or "Openings for either color."
Go to Play → Training → Openings.
Select "white", "black" or "both," depending on what you chose above.
Make a move or if you are training with Black pieces, rotate the board (hamburger menu below the board → Rotate)

(command bound to event)"

I look on google and is not working.....
Thanks anyway!
Works here with 4.7.0. Tcl/Tk 8.6.8.
Which version do you use?
When does it happen?
Did you try another database, like plain simple PGN without NAGs, variations, annotations?
