NepTV Setup Guide
Step 1: Start the server on your computer. Step 2: Connect your TV.
Part 1: Laptop/Computer Setup
Download the Required Tools
Your computer needs three standard tools to run the app. Install these just like any normal software.
Open VS Code & Terminal
Open Visual Studio Code. At the top of your screen, click on Terminal, then select New Terminal. A dark text panel will open at the bottom.
Download the NepTV Code
Copy the command below, click inside the terminal panel, paste it, and press Enter.
git clone https://github.com/AshishGyawali/NepTV.git
Start the Engine
Tell the terminal to enter the folder, install the required files, and start the app by pasting these commands one by one:
cd NepTV
npm install
npm run dev
⚠️ Red "npm.ps1 cannot be loaded" error?
This happens because Windows PowerShell blocks new scripts by default. To fix it instantly, switch to Command Prompt:
- Look at the top right of the terminal window, right next to the + icon.
- Click the dropdown arrow (v).
- Click on Select Default Profile from the menu.
- Choose Command Prompt from the list that appears at the top center of VS Code.
After doing this, click the Trash Can icon on your current terminal to close it, open a New Terminal, and repeat step 4!
Open NepTV & Enjoy
