Both Plex Media Server and Plex Media Center must be installed on the host computer. The download links to both
applications can be found in the What You Will Need section of this document. The installations can be performed

NOTE: Once the Plex Media Server installation completes, a dialog will appear to create a MyPlex account. This is
an optional service that will allow social and mobile sharing of content stored in the Plex Media Server. For more
