Server Version#: 4.56.4 Player Version#: Hello, I have installed Plex Media Server on Linux, Zorin distro, and I can’t add libraries. From the HOME menu, I select “Your media” and a window appears where I have only one option: “Get Plex Media Server”. But if I didn’t get it, it wouldn’t be there? I don’t understand. I can’t add my libraries. ---

Make sure to access the newly installed Plex Media Server through its local IP address in order to complete the setup (e.g. [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) if you’re accessing it from the same machine or http://[PMS IP address]:32400/web if you’re accessing it from a different machine inside your home network). During the finalization of your setup you can name your server and claim it / link it to your Plex account. Once this is done you can also access it from other Plex client (including the hosted version of Plex Web → [http://app.plex.tv/desktop](http://app.plex.tv/desktop)). > **[Installation | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288586-installation/)** > > Preparation Before You Begin Before you begin installing Plex Media Server, it’s strongly recommended that you check that your media... ---

Thank you for your help. I have already read the document you recommend, but it did not help me. In trying to enter to Plex Media Server on web when I select “Login”, I always get an error (this bug has been the subject of much discussion in the forums). But if I go to [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv) I manage to log in. But in [http://app.plex.tv/desktop](http://app.plex.tv/desktop), when I select “Your media” to add my libraries, a window appears “Add your media to Plex” (I’m translating to English, because the interface I use is in Spanish) in which the only option I have is “Get Plex Media Server”, something absurd since I already have it installed. And **I can’t add my libraries.** ---

What error do you get when you try accessing the Plex Media Server locally. Until your server is linked with your account it will not show up on [https://app.plex.tv/desktop](https://app.plex.tv/desktop). ---
