I just downloaded the Plex Export File, but I see no application or clear way to get it to run. Any help would be appreciated (a step by step would be best). Thanks!

From what I can see, there is no installation needed.  
  
Just…

- unzip the archive  
- make sure, php is enabled, see for example “[http://clickontyler.com/blog/2007/10/how-to-enable-php5-in-mac-os-x-leopard/](http://clickontyler.com/blog/2007/10/how-to-enable-php5-in-mac-os-x-leopard/)”  
- open a terminal window, “dir” into your Plex Export directory and run “php cli.php” (see “[http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/19053-plex-web-export/page\_\_st\_\_20](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/19053-plex-web-export/page __st__ 20)”, too).  
- now you can open file “index.html” from Plex Export in your browser…  
  
  
  
Does this help?
