Hi, there.

Thanks for doing the work to create this integration!

In the Stream Deck section of the readme, the steps jump from downloading your awesome package right to the plugin showing up in the StreamDeck app.

In a show of my genuine appreciation, I've outlined the process to get your code into the Stream Deck app, along with the a link to the official Elgato Developer Docs that I used to successfully install your app.

No offense or expectation for you to include the below. I've forked your repo and added it there as well in case others find it.

Again, many thanks for your efforts.

🙏🏻, ✌🏻, ❤️ & 🤗,

--Shawn


A couple of notes before starting

Note 1: Please refer to the official Elgato Stream Deck documentation to create your own plugin if the below doesn't work for you as that will have the latest and greatest information.

Note 2: The process below was successfully completed on macOS Monterrey 12.0 Beta. The process is similar for Windows systems. Please refer to the Elgato documentation using the link in Note 1 above.

Finally getting to this. Do you think this is necessary to do when you can simply click on the streamDeckPlugin file which will install it for you?
