Next, input the following into the browser of your choice: This will allow us to update Plex whenever we'd like by running the above command.Īlmost done! All we have to do now is link a folder where we keep our media to Plex, and we'll be good to go. We will then follow this with sudo apt-get update

Next, we'll want to enable the Plex Media Server repository by inputting the commands: $ echo deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt//plexmediaserver.list $ curl | sudo apt-key add.

If everything goes as planned, you should see the installation process printed to the terminal like so: Note that your deb file may have a different version number, so adjust accordingly. $ sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.-79e214ead_b At the time of writing, the installer is named plexmediaserver_1.-a91458577_b, however, you may have a different version number when installing depending on time.Īssuming that your installer is in your Downloads folder, open up a fresh Terminal session and input $ cd ~/Downloads Because Ubuntu is a 64-bit operating system, we'll make sure to download the installer for 64-bit distros. The first thing that we'll want to do is go to and download the installer for Linux distros.

When I open the Plex Media Server on the Pi and then access Plex on the TV, it works.DISCLAIMER: does not condone nor endorse the illegal acquisition nor distribution of media of any kind. However when I open Plex on the Pi and press play on the films, they play perfectly fine. When I boot the Pi up, then access Plex on the TV the videos are all listed there and it says it's connected to the Server, but then when I try to play the film is says it's unavailable. Having then downloaded the above, I rebooted and this still hasn't worked. "echo deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt//plexmediaserver.list" I have also run the below to install the. I tried to execute the first command you sent and I got an error message "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg -configure -a' to correct the problem." After executing "sudo dpkg -configure -a" I was then able to rerun "sudo apt install plexmediaserver". Thank you so much for helping me with this! I'm sure if someone like you (that actually knows what they are doing) could look at my Pi I bet it's something super easy to fix!
