Installing Kiosk Lockdown Browser


Step 1 

Connect a USB male to male cable from your PC/Laptop to the screen’s OTG port as shown below.




Step 2
Download the SDK Platform Tools in the Downloads section at the start of the guide to your downloads folder. 


Step 3  

Extract this file to the same folder.



Step 4 

Open up the Command Prompt on your computer by searching for the program




Step 5

If you downloaded and extracted the file to your downloads folder you should be able to type ‘cd Downloads\platform-tools_r33.0.3-windows\platform-tools’ followed by pressing the Enter key on the keyboard.



   


Please note: Make sure to cd to the correct location you have extracted the SDK Platform Tools.

Step 6

This will move the current directory accessed to the platform-tools folder. From here type ‘adb.exe’ and press the Enter key to open the ADB application.



If you have done this correctly you will see lines of text fill up the Command Prompt box with instructions on how to use ADB.

Step 7 
We only need to do one command to set the Kiosk Lockdown Browser as the device admin. However, it’s worth checking the device is connected first. Type “adb devices” followed by the Enter key. You should see one device listed underneath.



If you don’t see this device, make sure the USB male to male cable is connected to both PC and device. Make sure on the device settings to also enable OTG and Debugging mode from the ‘Enable Developer Mode’ section on the guide are enabled. 

Step 8

Finally, type ‘adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.procoit.kioskbrowser/.receiver.AdminReceiver’ and press the Enter key. If this is done correctly you will see the following message.



If you input this again, you can check to see if this was done successfully.



The device will now have the Kiosk Lockdown Browser application as the default device owner.
