# How to Set Up Auto Launch Pickcel on Fire TV Stick with Fire OS 8?

> Install and configure the Pickcel player on Fire TV devices running Fire OS 8 using ADB tools to grant required permissions

<Warning>
  Fire OS 8 introduces system changes that require ADB tools to grant extra permissions to the Pickcel app. Because of this, these devices are considered **unsupported** and are **not recommended** for new Pickcel setups.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Amazon now recommends using the [Amazon Signage Stick](/player-installation/amazon/signage-stick) instead of Fire TV devices for Pickcel. It is built for digital signage and avoids interruptions from the Fire TV home screen and other consumer features.
</Tip>

If you already have a Fire TV device with Fire OS 8, follow the steps below to configure auto launch permissions.

<Note>
  **Before you begin:** Make sure your Fire TV Stick and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Pickcel app">
    Open the Amazon Appstore on your Fire TV Stick, search for **Pickcel**, and install the app. Launch it once installed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Developer Options">
    From the home screen, go to **Settings** → **My Fire TV** (or **Device**) → **About**.

    Select your Fire TV model name (e.g. "Fire TV Stick 4K Max") and click it **7 times**.

    <Note>
      When you see "No need, you are already a developer," Developer Mode is enabled.
    </Note>

    Go back to **My Fire TV** → **Developer Options** and turn **ADB Debugging** to **ON**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your Fire TV Stick IP address">
    Go to **Settings** → **My Fire TV** (or **Device**) → **About** → **Network**.

    Note the IP address shown on screen (e.g. `192.168.10.38`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download ADB Platform Tools">
    Download Platform Tools from the [Android developer website](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools).

    Choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows or macOS) and extract the files to an easy-to-find folder.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Windows">
        Extract to a folder like `C:\platform-tools`
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="macOS">
        Extract to your Desktop or another accessible location
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to Fire TV Stick and run ADB commands">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Windows">
        Open File Explorer and navigate to the extracted `platform-tools` folder.

        Right-click inside the folder and choose **Open in Terminal**.

        <Note>
          On older Windows versions, hold **Shift** and right-click, then choose **Open PowerShell window here**.
        </Note>

        Run the following command to start the ADB daemon:

        ```bash theme={null}
        adb devices
        ```

        If successful, you will see the ADB daemon start.

        Connect to your Fire TV Stick using its IP address (replace with your actual IP):

        ```bash theme={null}
        adb connect 192.168.10.38
        ```

        On the Fire TV Stick, a prompt will appear asking to allow USB debugging. Check **Always allow from this computer**, then click **Allow**.

        Verify the connection:

        ```bash theme={null}
        adb devices
        ```

        You should see your device listed:

        ```text theme={null}
        192.168.10.38:5555 device
        ```

        Run the permission command (replace `192.168.10.38` with your Fire TV Stick IP address):

        ```bash theme={null}
        adb -s 192.168.10.38:5555 shell cmd appops set pickcel.digital.signagestick SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="macOS">
        Open **Terminal** and navigate to the extracted `platform-tools` folder:

        ```bash theme={null}
        cd ~/Desktop/platform-tools
        ```

        Run the following command to start the ADB daemon:

        ```bash theme={null}
        ./adb devices
        ```

        If successful, you will see the ADB daemon start.

        Connect to your Fire TV Stick using its IP address (replace with your actual IP):

        ```bash theme={null}
        ./adb connect 192.168.10.38
        ```

        On the Fire TV Stick, a prompt will appear asking to allow USB debugging. Check **Always allow from this computer**, then click **Allow**.

        Verify the connection:

        ```bash theme={null}
        ./adb devices
        ```

        You should see your device listed:

        ```text theme={null}
        192.168.10.38:5555 device
        ```

        Run the permission command (replace `192.168.10.38` with your Fire TV Stick IP address):

        ```bash theme={null}
        ./adb -s 192.168.10.38:5555 shell cmd appops set pickcel.digital.signagestick SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch Pickcel">
    Return to the Fire TV home screen and open the Pickcel app.

    The permission error should now be gone, and **Start at boot** and **auto-boot** should work normally.
  </Step>
</Steps>
