The steps to follow to install the ITESlive software on a Linux device.
| available with: |
| Linux player: Starter, Pro, Premium |
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: To ensure that the software on the Linux player supports the automatic restart function, please follow the procedure in the following URL.
