- start the brightsign player without a SD card, to learn its IP address
- create a project in brightauthor ( example: [name]/brightauthor/[name].bpf
- in presentation properties > autorun 
		add your generated plugin [name]/dist/[name].brs
        name it [name] (mandatory)
- in presentation properties > files
		add your generated zip [name]dist/[name].zip
- at any state you want to start your plugin, add these entry commands :
		send > send plugin message > [name] > init
        send > send plugin message > [name] > show
- publish your presentation with firmware 8+ (if you want to use firmware 7, change browserslist to chrome >= 45)
