Enable a WiFi or Ethernet connection on the device.

Download the installer from the Editor website. You can find it under the Settings menu and go to the Downloads sub-menu.

Copy the .apk file to a Fat-32 formatted flash drive and install it on the device via the Apk Installer application found under All Apps. *Appearance of menus may differ depending on the media player that you are using.

Once you are in the Apk Installer, select your USB drive and navigate to the folder path that contains the Wallboard application that you installed. Now click on the file and click Next until you have finished installing Wallboard.

Start our client application and set the server URL if that needs to be changed.

If you open the Advanced options, you will see some additional settings for the application.

If you do not want your device to be locked down you can set the Wallboard app as the Home app. Every time the device turns on the Wallboard application will be started automatically instead of the Android home, or home selector.
