# How to Set Up Raspberry Pi as Digital Signage Player?

Learn how to easily turn your Raspberry Pi into a powerful digital signage player.

[Raspberry Pi](https://easysignage.com/digital-signage-player/raspberry-pi-player/) is an affordable and compact device, ideal for running digital signage applications. With EasySignage, you can easily transform your Raspberry Pi into a powerful signage player, perfect for retail, education, hospitality, and more.

## How to Turn Your Raspberry Pi into a Digital Signage Player

### Step 1: Prepare Your Raspberry Pi

Before installing EasySignage, follow these steps:

-   Use a Raspberry Pi 3 or newer for best performance. Supported models are: Raspberry Pi 3 model A+ and B+, Raspberry Pi 4 model A+ and B+, Raspberry Pi 5.

-   Install Raspberry Pi OS (Desktop edition) – follow Raspberry Pi’s official [setup guide](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html#setting-up-your-raspberry-pi) .

-   Internet connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

-   Ensure a Chromium browser is installed.

-   Disable Screen Blanking: Go to menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Display > turn off “Screen Blanking”.

### Step 2: Install EasySignage

1.  Open Terminal: Go to Menu > Accessories > Terminal.

2.  Run the setup script based on your OS architecture. Copy and paste the script below in the terminal.

For **Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit):**

```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://appds.io/rpi64.sh)"
```

For **Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit):**

```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://appds.io/rpi32.sh)"
```

This installs the digital signage player and configures it to auto-start at boot.

3.  Reboot your device by writing **reboot** in the terminal.

**_Note_**: For automatic Startup, the player app auto-launches on boot, no extra setup is required.

### Step 3: Pair and Start Digital Signage

-   After reboot, the EasySignage player launches automatically and shows a pairing code.
-   In the [EasySignage dashboard](https://app.easysignage.com/) , go to Screens → Add New Screen, and enter the code to register your device.
-   Once paired, your Raspberry Pi will start displaying playlists, videos, live streams, web content, and more.

## How to Fix Fullscreen Launch on Raspberry Pi OS

If you’re using the latest Raspberry Pi OS, switch from Wayland to X11 for proper fullscreen support:

1.  Open Terminal and run the command below:

```
  sudo raspi-config
```

2.  Navigate to Advanced Options → A6 Wayland

3.  Choose W1 X11

4.  Press finish and reboot.
