#Getting a build

#Initial Setup Video YouTuber VirtuallyChris has put together this really excellent setup video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiLYa1EZL04

All of the steps in the video are also listed in the following section, but it's probably best to watch the video first to get a sense of what's involved.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THIS VIDEO. I know some of you love to re-post this stuff on /r/oculus or other sites and I appriciate your enthusiasm. But this video is intended to help people who have discovered this project get started, NOT to advertise this project. PSMoveService still has several major features in development and is NOT ready for broad adoption. By widely broadcasting this service in its current state we get overwealmed with support requests which make it more difficult for us complete the work we have left. We've held back on posting this setup video for a while for this reason, but enough people were having difficulty with the setup that I felt it was doing more harm than good to not make it available to people trying to use this service now. Thank you for your patience and support.
