I have been looking for a easy to use tutorial for a clean setup of plex server on a raspberry pi. But i am at a loss right now. I had a admin directing me to the READ ME FIRST post but i still have no clue. In the past i have used a tutorial hosted on thepi . io that was very userfriendly. It no longer works due to the Dev2Day thing. Now im looking for something similar because being redirected to different pages and wondering if everything is setup right is quite frankly a mess. Going to take some headache medication now and wait for some help.

Edit to add, I should note that I never got things working successfully, but the issue was with my Hauppauge USB tuner. The Plex install using RPi was pretty slick. I eventually settled on a repurposed Windows 7 box & an internal Hauppauge Quad tuner.

@Naghelfar Yup, most “tutorials” out there were either completely wrong from the start or are at least by now extremely outdated. And frankly, you do not learn much by just ctrl-v terminal commands.
The official instructions I have given you link to very well written official documents to (1) install Linux (Raspbian) and (2) install Plex. There are only very few steps involved and also these instructions are written for Linux novices. You won’t have any problem to install Plex with these steps IF you just start from scratch. 80% of the stuff in all the famous “tutorials” is just not necessary or wrong.

I just setup Plex on an rpi 3b+ this morning with the following without an issue and it seems to be working fine. I used wget to download the file and i ran the sudo command to install it.
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.3.876-ad6e39743_armhf.deb
