## Install and set up
Works best with FPKGi-node-server,
which generates and hosts the JSON game library. Follow its setup guide, then use
the generated library URL in the steps below.
1. Enable GoldHEN and install `PS4Game_installer-rN.pkg` using your PS4 package installer.
2. Open **PS4 Games Installer**, then **Options > Settings**.
3. Enter your server's **Games JSON URL**, for example `http://192.168.1.10:3000/games`.
4. Choose **Test connection**, then **Save settings**.
Use the HTTP or HTTPS JSON address supplied by your catalog server. The server and its
package/artwork URLs must be reachable from the PS4. Settings also lets you add
other catalog sources, choose a layout, and turn background bubbles on or off.
HTTPS catalogs and packages use bundled trusted root certificates. Up to five
redirects are supported; redirects from HTTPS to HTTP are rejected. HTTPS packages
download to internal storage before installation, so keep the app open and allow
space for the package copy plus installation. Other hosts requiring authentication
still need a directly accessible package URL.
For Internet Archive files that download only after signing in, open **Options >
Settings > Archive.org account**, enter your email and password, then choose
**Sign in**. Return to **Options > Downloads**, select the failed package and retry.
Your account must already have access to that file; signing in does not grant new
permissions or increase the host's download speed.
The password is masked and is not saved. The login session is saved privately on
the console in `/data/PS4-Game-Installer/archive-session.json`, outside the catalog,
settings, queue, backups and diagnostics. Requests send it only over verified
HTTPS to Archive.org and its subdomains. **Sign out** removes that local session;
sign in again if Archive.org expires it. Privileged console software can still
read local files, so do not share this session file.
