# How to install Digital Signage software on the Raspberry Pi 5

Turn your Pi into digital signage

First, decide which Digital Signage software you want to use. Some popular options for Raspberry Pi include:
- **Screenly OSE**: Open-source Digital Signage software designed specifically for Raspberry Pi.
- **Raspberry Digital Signage**: A custom-made system built on Raspbian, focusing on full-screen web kiosk.
- **Xibo**: A powerful, open-source Digital Signage platform that supports Raspberry Pi.

For this guide, we shall use Screenly OSE!

## Steps

### Step 1 — Choose Digital Signage Software

First, decide which Digital Signage software you want to use. Some popular options for Raspberry Pi include:
- **Screenly OSE**: Open-source Digital Signage software designed specifically for Raspberry Pi.
- **Raspberry Digital Signage**: A custom-made system built on Raspbian, focusing on full-screen web kiosk.
- **Xibo**: A powerful, open-source Digital Signage platform that supports Raspberry Pi.

For this guide, we shall use Screenly OSE!

### Step 2 — Prepare the Raspberry Pi 5

Before installing the software, ensure your Raspberry Pi 5 is set up correctly:

- Download and install the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS on your microSD card.
- Insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi 5 and boot it up.

### Step 3 — Install Digital Signage Software

The installation process may vary depending on the software you've chosen. Here's a general overview:

**Screenly OSE:**

- Open Terminal on your Raspberry Pi or SSH into it from another device.
- Run the following commands:

```
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade 
sudo apt-get install screenly-ose
```

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

### Step 4 — Configure Digital Signage Software

Once the software is installed, you'll need to configure it and add your desired content:

- Access the administration interface of the Digital Signage software by entering the Raspberry Pi's IP address in a web browser.
