## Guide
14+
15+
### Pair TV to Computer & Install Homebrew
16+
17+
1. Follow the steps **[here](https://www.webosbrew.org/devmode)** to enable Developer Mode on your TV.
18+
- Leave the Developer Mode app running.
19+
2. Install the latest **[webOS Dev Manager](https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop/releases)**
20+
- Download the version under **Assets** for your OS.
21+
3. Open **webOS Dev Manager**:
22+
- Select **Use Developer Mode** → Next → Skip
23+
- Copy the **Paraphrase** and **IP Address** from the Developer Mode app on your TV
24+
- Paste both into the Dev Manager and click **Finish**
25+
4. In the Dev Manager app:
26+
- Click **Apps****Available**
27+
- Install the **Homebrew Channel** app
28+
5. You may now **close the Developer Mode app** on your TV
29+
30+
### Using Homebrew Channel
31+
32+
1. Press the **Home** button on your remote
33+
2. Open the **Homebrew Channel** app
34+
3. Browse the available third-party apps and install as needed
35+
36+
The **YouTube Ad-free** app requires you to uninstall the stock YouTube app first.
37+
38+
You’ll also update apps from this same interface in the future.
39+
40+
### Auto-Renew Developer Mode (Recommended)
41+
42+
> [!IMPORTANT]
43+
> LG Developer Mode expires after **42 days**, which deletes Homebrew apps.
44+
> Use this method to keep it refreshed automatically
45+
46+
1. Open the **Homebrew Channel**
47+
2. Install the **Auto Dev Token Refresh** app
48+
3. Open the app and click **Renew Automatically**
49+
4. *(Optional)* You can delete the app - the auto-renewal will stay active
50+
51+

53+
- [Stremio](https://www.stremio.com) - Free streaming app
54+
55+
