All the commands we used to get Plex Media Server installed on a Raspberry Pi 3 in a nice clean blog post 🙂įrom there, we plugged in the USB flash drive (don’t do it!

Please consider purchasing it through our store to support what we do: I won’t get into the full details here, since this is only a supplement to give you some copy-and-paste instructions, but I’d encourage you to watch the video. On the show, Jeff and I demonstrated how to turn a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie into a Plex Media Server, giving you the chance to stream your entire video and music library to all your devices. I wanted to document the instructions shared on Episode 459 to supplement the episode.
