If you want to display digital signage content on your Windows device, you must download and install the Yodeck app. This article will guide you through the process of downloading and installing the app on your Windows device.
⚠️This guide is an alternative option if the .exe installation process fails for some reason. We strongly recommend trying first the .exe guide, as mentioned here:
Step 1: Download the Latest Package Zip
The first step is to download the latest package zip for the Yodeck app. Depending on whether you are using Yodeck or Unbranded, you can download the package zip from two different sources.
If you are using Yodeck, you can download the package zip from the following link: https://packages.yodeck.com/y/app/windows/7.178.0.zip.
If you are using Unbranded, you can download the package zip from the following link: https://packages.dsbackend.com/u/app/windows/7.178.0.zip.
Step 2: Create a Folder for the App
Once you have downloaded the package zip, you will need to create a folder where you wish to download the app.
⚠️ Please note that you should not use spaces in the folder name.
Step 3: Unpack the Zip File
Next, you will need to unpack the content of the zip file into your folder. This will extract all the necessary files for the app to run.
Step 4: Open Windows PowerShell
To continue the installation process, you must open Windows PowerShell.
Make sure to run it as an administrator to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly.
Step 5: Run the Command
In the PowerShell window, run the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force -Confirm:$false
This command will allow the app to run on your device.
Step 6: Follow the Readme File
The readme file, located in the unzipped installation package folder, describes all app installation and uninstallation scripts. To complete the installation process, make sure to follow the instructions in the readme file.
Step 7: Navigate to Your Folder
Once you have completed the installation process, navigate to your folder using the following command:
cd ../..
Step 8: Execute the Command
Once you are in your directory, execute the following command:
.\Install-SignageOS.ps1
This will complete the installation process and prompt you to input your password for the Kiosk account.
Step 9: Restart Your Computer
After the installation is finished, you can close the PowerShell window and restart your computer. This will ensure that the app is properly installed and ready to use.
Step 10: Display the Registration Code
Once your device has restarted, it should display the 9-digit code ready for registration. This means that the app has been successfully installed and is ready for digital signage.
Congratulations, you have successfully downloaded and installed the Yodeck app on your Windows device. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please take a look at the readme file or contact our support team for help.
