Hi folks,

I'm trying to setup my oculus quest 2 so I can use it and mess around in developer mode. I have a linux pc and a couple of android tablets. I'm trying not to use an android phone. Is this possible?

I started off with the quest and got to the point where I have the screen to pair the headset with the meta quest app. Great! After trying to install the metaquest app on a fireHD tablet, I contacted Meta support. They said it has to be used on a phone, not a tablet. I found the sidequest and thought maybe I could use this instead of meta's quest app. I am trying to follow the directions here. I've downloaded the sidequest lite installer and run it. I have a developer account on oculus and created my organization. So far so good.

When I go to step 2, the instructions call for turning on developer mode on the phone. The instructions say "open the oculus app on your smart phone or tablet", so it sounds like I should be able to use a tablet. Since I haven't been able to load the meta quest app onto a tablet, I think I'm stuck.

I may be confused about the pieces and how they fit together.

What am I missing?

thanks,
