Install Workstation and prepare a shared computer

Before you install

Use the current Workstation release for your operating system and keep its ZIP intact until it has finished downloading. You need a desktop session, a working internet connection for account verification and enough free storage for apps and media. Application access depends on the connected account's plan. Avoid using a shared administrator account as the everyday customer account.

Install and connect

1. Extract the ZIP to a normal folder. Do not run it from the compressed archive or merge it into a different application's folder.
2. Follow the included Linux or Mac installation instructions. On Linux, the provided installer may request administrator approval for system dependencies; run the desktop application as your normal desktop user.
3. Start Workstation and open Account & downloads. Enter the correct HTTPS Sports Hub address and connect the account whose applications you intend to install.
4. Open Application directory, choose a category or search, and install an entitled application. Wait for completion and review installation details if it fails.
5. Return to Installed applications. Open the app in desktop mode for initial setup. Confirm its installed version and actual operation before assigning it to kiosk mode.

Understand the two application workspaces

Application directory discovers and installs permitted apps. Installed applications shows what is on this computer, including running state, updates and maintenance errors. Merely selecting a workspace or category does not launch or install an application. A process marked running is not proof that a stream, recording, microphone or camera is healthy.

Prepare shared operation

Configure the station administrator controls, startup behavior and assigned application deliberately. Test unlock, switching, normal exit and reboot behavior before leaving a public kiosk unattended. Keep your recovery method with authorized staff.
