For Air Player you need a Raspberry Pi 2 or higher.
This installation tutorial will guide you through the steps necessary to get Air Player running on your Pi. A video tutorial will follow later.
 
* Raspberry Pi
* (micro) SD card, 8GB or higher
* (micro) SD card reader
* Display connected to your Pi
* Windows PC with Air Manager 3.0 (needed once to configure the Pi)
* Working ethernet connection between the PC and the Pi
* Internet connection
 
== Steps ==
 
=== 1. Download & install the Air Player system image ===
 
The Air Player system image is a copy of the entire state of the Raspberry Pi system stored in one single file. Writing this image to your SD card is almost everything you have to do, you do <u>not</u> have to download the Raspbian Weezy operating system.
 
Download the latest Air Player image here:

Install the Air Player system image on your SD card (note that all content of that SD card will be removed).
 
If you do not know how to do this then the RaspberryPi.org website has a good explanation on how to write an image file to a SD card, follow the steps from '''WRITING AN IMAGE TO THE SD CARD''':

=== 2. Running Air Player ===
 
When you have installed the image file to the SD card, you can insert the SD card in your Raspberry Pi and power it up.
 
=== 3. Activating Air Player license ===
 
Once Air Manager 3.x on the desktop and Air Player 3.x on the Raspberry Pi are running, go to the ''Devices'' tab in Air Manager. All the active Air Player applications are listed there.
 
Select the Raspberry Pi which is not activated yet. The Raspberry Pi will be listed as '''Unknown''' with a small Raspberry Pi logo in front.
 
Once you have selected the unlicensed Raspberry Pi you will see, on the top right side, two buttons: ''Buy'' and ''Activate''.
 
Click ''Activate''.
 
In the pop-up window click ''Next''.
 
Use the following login details (all capital letters!):
Username: BETA
Password: BETA
 
Select Air Player Premium and click ''Activate''.
 
Your Raspberry Pi Air Player beta license has now been activated and is valid for one month.
 
=== 4. Auto updater ===
 
Air Player has an automatic update system, just like Air Manager. When a new version of Air Player is detected online, it will start to download and install this new version. Air Player updates are not as big as the full system image, so this will go quite fast, depending on your internet speed.
