-Connect the Vive headset to the powerbox and the powerbox to your computer (taking care to connect the hdmi or DP into your graphics card) and outlet. Then download steam if you don't already have it on your computer. Open Steam VR and start the room setup and steam vr tutorial. If your headset doesn't connect to Steam VR just quit Steam VR and disconnect the power and usb from your computer and outlet to the powerbox. Wait a few minutes and reconnect the power and the usb into a different port. You may need to repeat this a few times until the headset is finally found by Steam VR. +Connect the Vive headset to the powerbox and the powerbox to your computer (taking care to connect the HDMI or DP into your graphics card) and outlet.

I would also recommend that you secure the powerbox onto your desk to prevent it from falling off due to the movement of the wire.

 +Once through with the setup, you can finally start with developing your own uses for it. Most people use Unity or UnrealEngine to develop for the Vive, with each having their own pros and cons. For this specific tutorial, we will be using Unity 5.5. However, after going through making this tutorial I may recommend using the UnrealEngine for further development. However, Unity is more than enough to get a taste of what is possible with the Vive.

 +Go download Unity from their [[https://store.unity.com/?_ga=1.256815874.825466082.1481690870|website]] and be sure to download the personal version. Once done it is time to move on to the next step.
