E.3.2 Accessing ShowMe TV Software

There are two ways to access the ShowMe TV software. The first way does not require any software installation procedure on your part.

1. If you or your system administrator has stored the ShowMe TV player in a mounted, exported file system, you can already access this software without any installation. Consult your system administrator to determine if this applies to you, and if the ShowMe TV player version is correct.

   If the exported file system is in your PATH variable, you should be able to type showmetv in a command window, and the ShowMe TV player will start. In this case, you can skip to "E.4.1 Configuring Web Browsers to Use ShowMe TV" and configure your browser to use the accessible version of the video player.

   If the exported file system is not in your PATH variable, you need to find out the showmetv executable's full directory path name from your administrator and then skip to "E.4.1 Configuring Web Browsers to Use ShowMe TV". You will need to enter the full showmetv path name to configure the executable in your browser.

2. If your administrator has not installed the ShowMe TV player in a mounted, exported file system, you will need to obtain or download the ShowMe TV product, and install the ShowMe TV player software on your local system.
