##Quick Setup Instructions
1. On the server, download the GeForce Experience software from http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download and install it. The server may need a reboot after installation to finish setup. Make sure GeForce Experience is open, updated, and that you've scanned for games. You should see the NVIDIA icon in your system tray. If you don't, try rebooting your machine or reinstalling GeForce Experience. Moonlight may not be able to pair if the NVIDIA icon isn't shown.
2. Start up GeForce Experience on the server and navigate to the **Preferences** tab. Then choose the **SHIELD** option. Make sure the **Allow this PC to stream games to SHIELD devices** checkbox is checked. To set up streaming from the Internet, see [Streaming over the Internet](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#streaming-over-the-internet) later on in the guide.
2. Start up GeForce Experience on the server and click on the **Settings "gear" button**. Then choose the **SHIELD** option. Make sure the GameStream switch is in the "on" position (green). To set up streaming from the Internet, see [Streaming over the Internet](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#streaming-over-the-internet) later on in the guide.
3. Download, install, and start your client. In most cases, your PC server will show up automatically in the PC list. Click the entry in the PC list (PC: and then click on the **Pair** button) to start pairing. If not, click the plus button and add your PC using its local network IP address. If this doesn't work, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).

##Using a gamepad connected to the PC instead of the streaming device
Normally, Moonlight sends controller input from the streaming client which gets sent to the game by GFE. If you want to connect a controller to your PC instead of the streaming device, GFE can cause some problems because the emulated controller still appears to games as controller 1. Luckily there is a workaround for this. You'll need to rename the DLL that Nvidia is using to send controller input so it won't be used anymore. On 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, rename rxinput.dll to rxinput.dll.old on in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv. On 64-bit versions, there's another copy of the DLL in C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv which you'll want to rename. You may have to do the renaming again if GFE does an update, but it should allow you to use your controller normally on games that only support 1 controller.

* On GeForce Experience 3.0 and later, rename rxgamepadinput.dll to rxgamepadinput.dll.old in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv and C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv.
* On older version of GeForce Experience (2.x), rename rxinput.dll to rxinput.dll.old in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv and C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv.
##Adding custom programs that are not automatically found
You can stream any almost any game or app by adding the EXE file to GFE manually (if it's not found by the automatic app scan). Open GeForce Experience, click the **Preferences tab**, click **SHIELD** or **GameStream** on the sidebar, then click the add (+) button on the right. Browse to the app or file you want to add and click OK. You can rename the app using the edit button (pencil and paper) on the right (underneath the add button).

The next time the client opens and displays the App List, the newly added programs and games should be displayed and ready to stream.
