So run the following command to install the Plex deb package. On Debian based Linux distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc), dpkg is the standard command line tool to install deb packages. For example, my Plex is downloaded to the Downloads directory under Home, so I run the following command.

Then enter the following (remembering to replace my name with your name): Just replace my name tommy with your name. You can also create a Movies and TV folder in your Videos folder if you have s big enough hard drive. Sudo chown -R plex: /home/tommy/Media/Movies My actual Movies and TV Shows are on a separate internal hard drive via a Mount Point of Media, so I had to enter the following: If you add an extra folder to the /opt/plexmedia/ then don't forget to do the steps above but use the new folder name. Sudo chown -R plex: /opt/plexmedia/Movies Also, don't use any spaces when creating any of these folders. Enter the following to give read and write privileges to each new folder. The Plex Media Server user should have read and write permissions on the directories we just created. I have the instructions on my How-To Create a Mount Point section of my website.

A mount point defines where to find the data or files on the hard drives in your system. In order for Plex to read or locate your media files on another hard drive you must create a mount point. Actually, on my desktop system I installed the Plex Media Server on my SSD and my Movies and TV folders on another internal hard drive.

You don't have to create those same named folders or place them in the same location. To create these folders enter the following in your Terminal: I will create a Movies folder that will contain all my movies and a TV folder that will contain all my TV shows. In my example I will create a plexmedia folder in the opt folder (a folder not part of the operating system) and create two folders inside the plexmedia folder. You need to create folders that will reflect the type of files that will be placed in them. Before you start the Plex setup wizard let’s create the directories that will store the Plex media files.
