Install FieldScreen TV from a terminal without building the app:

git clone https://github.com/AndrewDuval6/fieldscreen-tv.git &&
cd fieldscreen-tv &&
./install.sh

The installer downloads this Linux x64 AppImage from GitHub, verifies its checksum, installs it at ~/Applications/FieldScreen-TV.AppImage, and adds an application-menu shortcut. No Node.js, administrator access, or source build is needed. Git and curl must be available. Close any older running copy before installing an update.

The desktop shortcut starts in a window. The AppImage itself still starts full screen for Steam Deck Gaming Mode. Use F11 or the new Window / Fullscreen button to switch. Holding F11 no longer repeatedly toggles the window. --windowed also works from a terminal.

Includes the previous release’s Refresh channels control, M3U/Xtream support, private provider storage, XMLTV guide, and NFL dashboard. Choose Connect IPTV inside the installed app to enter your provider details.

Validation: 23 automated checks, production build, packaged-content checks, and Linux AppImage launch check. Installer checks cover successful installation and rejection of damaged downloads while preserving the existing app. Physical Steam Deck/TV validation remains pending.
