1. Download Python 2.7.X Windows Installer here and install it.

   NOTE: Python 2.7 is the minimum version. PlexConnect will not work with Python 3.X.X. Please ensure the correct version is installed.

2. Extract the PlexConnect archive you [downloaded earlier] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/master.zip). We recommend extracting it to "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" on x64 systems.

3. Generate the SSL Certificates by following the [Windows Certificate Guide] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Windows-Certificates).

4. Run PlexConnect by double-clicking "PlexConnect.py" from your installed folder. Upon first run, Windows will prompt you for firewall exceptions - Click "Allow Access"

   You can now minimize the CMD window.
