This article provides instructions for setting up Signagelive on LG webOS 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, and 6.0 displays. The guide covers the full installation and configuration process from the display's 'out of the box' state.
Please Note: If you are installing multiple devices, it is possible to partially automate this process. See this article about Auto-deploying via a USB stick.
Prerequisites

An LG remote control
A USB keyboard (optional)
An active wired or wireless network connection.

Important Firmware Information
webOS 4.0, 4.1, & 6.0: It is strongly recommended to upgrade the display to the minimum supported firmware before beginning installation. The latest firmware can be downloaded here.
WP600 (webOS 6.0): This model must be manually upgraded to firmware version
03.90.80or newer. Earlier versions will result in a permanent black screen when the Signagelive client launches. The required firmware is available for download here: WP600 Firmware.
