The Gemini Project 3 is installed in an OE image in only 2 steps.

1. Installation of the Gemini3 Wizard.
2. Execution of the Gemini3 Wizard.

Image recommendation

As basis for the GP3 installation we recommend an experimental OE 2.0 image from Dream Multimedia. Of course GP3 can also be installed in Merlin or OoZoon images. Flash instructions can be found in this article..

Requirements

An OE 2.0 Image must be from 01.10.2013, or more recent. All currently available OE 2.0 Release Images are too old for a GP3.2 installation.

If you use an OE2.0 Release image from Dream Multimedia, the image can be switched into an experimental version. This enables the installation. Read the article Gemini3 Wizard.

• No pre-installed soft-cams.
• No plugin that provide a quickbutton functionality.
• A working internet connection
• Image revision must be at least v3.2.1 (OE1.6) except DM7025(+).
• A flash memory expansion such as FlashExpander, Media-Boot, Dumbo, Flodder for boxes with small flash memory like DM500HD and DM800(se).
• When using an OoZoon Images, you first need to install kernel-module-fuse.
• When using a Merlin Images, no changes are required.

Image preparation

• Set user mode on Expert in Menu → Settings → System → Customize.
• Enable multiple bouquets in Menu → Settings → System → Customize.
• Set the primary DNS Server (e.g. IP of your router) when using fixed network settings, or use DHCP.
• Set password for user root .
• Activate the Default-HD or an other HD skin before installing the GP3.2 Plugin (only OE 2.0). If you don't do so, the Blue Panel will not be displayed. Only HD skins are supported, or special SD/XD skins which were adapted for the GP3.2 Plugin.

In iCVS images the Gemini3 Wizard is already preinstalled. You may skip the installation and go on with step GP3 plugin installation. On all other images you must first install the Gemini3 Wizard. The following descriptions shows different possibilities for the G3Wizard installation.
