1. Extract the PlexConnect archive you [downloaded earlier] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/master.zip). Place the folder in a location of your choosing.

2. Generate the SSL Certificates. Certificates can be generated on the Linux host but you must use a Mac or Windows guide to actually install the certificate on the AppleTV as there is no Linux tools available.
   Use the [Mac Certificate Guide] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Mac-Certificates) or [Windows Certificate Guide] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Windows-Certificates).

3. Run PlexConnect by first opening a terminal window, then type the following:

sudo "/Applications/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py"

Provide your Administrator password to complete PlexConnect startup.

You should now see messages like these in the terminal window: (Mac images shown, Linux will be similar) You can now minimize the Terminal window.

4. Follow the [AppleTV configuration guide] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-AppleTV-Configuration) to complete the installation.
