Even G2 Global Headlines: From Zero to Seeing It on Your Glasses

Check: Press the Win key, type cmd to open Command Prompt, and enter the two lines below. If both show version numbers, you're all set (your numbers may differ).

Mac: Download and install Python and Node.js from the link above, same as Windows. For the later .bat steps, open Terminal in the folder and enter the commands instead (each step is spelled out).

1. Search for Tailscale in the App Store or Google Play and install it.
2. Sign in with the same account you used on your computer (for example, the same Google account).
3. Turn on the connection switch on screen (it should show Connected).

1. Right-click the downloaded zip → "Extract All," and place the folder somewhere easy to find (e.g., Desktop). Don't double-click files inside the zip directly.
2. Open the extracted folder and double-click 設定全球頭條.bat. (Mac: open Terminal in the folder and enter python3 setup.py)
3. If Windows shows a security warning, click "Run." If it says "Windows protected your PC," click "More info" → "Run anyway."
4. The first run downloads packaging components. Wait 1–3 minutes until you see "Setup complete."

What you'll see when it finishes (captured from an actual run; key hidden):

1. Double-click 啟動全球頭條.bat, and a black window will appear. (Mac: in Terminal, enter cd server → python3 hub.py)
2. If Windows Firewall asks, click "Allow access."
3. If you see something like the following, it has started. Keep this window open. Closing it stops the server.

To start automatically at boot (Windows): press Win+R, type shell:startup, press Enter, and drag a shortcut of 啟動全球頭條.bat into the folder.

There are two methods. Try Method A first, since it's the simplest.

Method A: Scan the QR code

1. On your phone, open Even App, go to Settings, and turn on Developer Mode.
What you'll see: the "Developer Mode" toggle on the Even App settings page. Once turned on, extra developer options appear.
2. In the Even Hub developer options, find "Scan QR" and point it at 掃這個-眼鏡QR.png on your computer. (Double-click the image on your computer to enlarge it for scanning.)
What you'll see: the camera scan screen. After scanning, Even App opens the "Global Headlines" page directly.
3. The QR code already contains the key, so it connects automatically after scanning. Go straight to Step 7 to confirm.

Method B: Official package (no need to scan the QR code each time)

1. Register a free Even Hub developer account at hub.evenrealities.com.
2. In the app folder inside the extracted folder, type cmd in the address bar and press Enter to open Command Prompt, then enter:

3. In Even App on your phone, go to "Me" → "Apps" → "Private builds," and tap "Global Headlines" to install.
What you'll see: "Global Headlines" appears in the Private builds list. Tap it to install.
4. This package does not include the key. On first launch, enter the key as described in Step 6.

1. In Even App, open "Global Headlines" and tap "Connection settings" at the very bottom to expand it.
2. Computer URL: usually already filled in. If not, enter the http://100.xx.xx.xx:3460 from Step 3.
3. Key: paste the key from Step 3. To get it to your phone, send yourself a message, and delete that message after pasting.
4. Tap "Save and test." The phone remembers it, so you won't need to paste it again.

Forgot the key? In the extracted folder, open Command Prompt and enter python setup.py --show.

1. On the glasses home page, swipe down to select "Global Headlines," tap to see the list of ten headlines, then tap one to read the article.
2. After reading, swipe down to turn pages. On the last page, swipe down twice to jump to the next article in the same category. Long-press to return to the category.
3. On the home page, select "Custom Sources," choose a Chinese-language news RSS feed from the list, and tap a headline to read the full latest article.

For more instructions, see 使用說明.md in the folder (you can open it with Notepad).
