      ❗VERY IMPORTANT❗: You must install the ITESlive software on the device that will display your content. Do not install the ITESlive software on your personal computer.

      Important: We generally recommend avoiding a 4K configuration unless the device has the necessary performance to handle this resolution smoothly, particularly a sufficiently powerful graphics card. A Full HD resolution (1920x1080) is more suitable in most cases and helps ensure optimal display performance.

      Note: Failure to follow the installation procedure described in this article may result in security vulnerabilities.   

      1. Download the ITESlive installer

      The first step is to download ITESlive on the computer that will be displaying the content.


      Download ITESlive using the following links:


      2. Open another tab in your browser and download the following script:

      https://iteslive.tv/iteslive.sh

      Note: The iteslive.sh file is a script that is used to ensure that the ITESlive process is in use on the computer that is broadcasting the display. This script will periodically confirm that the software is in use and will start it in the event that it is not.

      Once the application appears in the list of startup applications, you can close the window. The next time the user logs into the device, the ITESlive display will launch. However, a PIN will be required to identify the ITESlive player that will be used for the display on this device. You can either launch the application manually to enter the PIN, or restart the device so the application runs at startup. In either case, a window prompting for a PIN will appear.

      16. Enter the PIN you noted earlier in the text field and click on the "Save" button to start the display.
