Getting started
From the project's README ("Installation"):
Step 1: Root the TV
If your TV is not yet rooted, use one of these methods:
- RootMy.TV — recommended
- webOS Homebrew Channel rooting guide
Step 2: Install Homebrew Channel
After gaining root, install Homebrew Channel — it's the app manager for webOS, similar to Cydia. Follow the instructions at webosbrew.org.
Step 3: Install Node.js on the TV
Open Homebrew Channel on your TV and install Node.js (package org.webosbrew.nodejs). This is required for the Koster backend service to run.
