You will need:
An AMD64 or ARM64 compatible PC, a stable internet connection, and a Linux distribution of your choice—Debian is recommended for easier and more efficient customer support.
Installing a Linux distribution
Users are free to install the Linux distribution of their choice. However, we recommend using Debian for a more streamlined technical support.
Warning: While installing your Linux distribution, DO NOT install any Desktop Environment. Be sure to uncheck any default desktop environment present during the installation process.
Creating a display user
Note: The operating system must not have a pre-existing user account named iteslive.
Open a terminal and type the following command.
sudo useradd iteslive -m -s /bin/bash

wget https://iteslive.tv/iteslive-linux-x64.zip -O /tmp/iteslive.zip
To download the ARM64 client, enter:
wget https://iteslive.tv/iteslive-linux-arm64.zip -O /tmp/iteslive.zip
Wait until the download is finished, then enter the next commands:
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm /tmp/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update
