If you only want to use Plex while at home, you won't need to connect your server. During your setup, you'll also have the option to 'Connect' your Plex Media Server in order to access content when away from home or to share content with other users. It will help you create libraries for your media. Setup Wizard: After loading the Plex web app, follow the Setup Wizard's on-screen instructions. Again, the default browser will open and load Plex's web app. Mac users can locate the Plex icon in the top Menu bar and choose Media Manager. The default browser will open and load Plex's web app. PC users can go to the Plex icon in the Windows System Tray at the lower right of the screen, then right-click, and choose Media Manager. Launch Plex web app: On the same computer you installed the server, you will need to launch the Plex web app. Once organised and readable, Plex automatically fetches information like posters, descriptions, and ratings. They include tips like separating media type into folders (movies and music) and renaming files to match the content ('Avatar.mp4'). You should therefore check the Media Preparation guides to ensure your media collection is sorted and named correctly. Organise your media: Plex identifies your media according to folder structure, filename, and the libraries to which it is assigned. Then follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the server. Once you've decided which computer you're going to install the server, visit the Plex Downloads page and download the server for your platform. The first thing you need to do is install the server on a internet-connected computer. The server is for storing your media library in a central place, while the player apps are for playing back media from the server on any device.
