Installing MX on Windows 10

Post by Claira42 »

After the problems with Twitter and their authorize codes I have decided to try and install MX onto my PC.

I am a little confused as to how to do this. I noticed that you have to run the programme as an administrator and that the black screen comes up and has a few words on it.

What do I have to do with this box with the words within it? It just sits there asking for something, but I do not know what to do next.

I have extracted the file as stated and run as administrator after that I am at a loss.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks, Lisa.

Assuming that it is running OK, you ignore the black command window - you can minimise it, but do not close it.

Start your web browser on the same machine and enter the site as "http://localhost:8998/"
This should load the MX interface in your browser, from their you can configure it for your station.
