# VIVE Tracker Setup Guide

## Portalgraph Settings

Launch an application built with Portalgraph and open the settings screen (by default, press F12). Check the "Auto-launch Tracker App" option, then select "OpenVR" from the dropdown below it. The VIVE Tracker tracking software will launch automatically the next time the application starts.

#### Initial Setup

When you launch the VIVE Tracker tracking software for the first time, a message will appear prompting you to modify the settings, as shown below. Since VIVE Trackers are configured by default to be used together with a VR headset, the settings need to be changed to allow use without a headset. Click "Fix," then follow the on-screen instructions to quit SteamVR and relaunch the VIVE Tracker tracking software (registered in the Start menu as "Tracker Portalgraph").

In the **Tracker Position** dropdown, select **Forehead** and click **Apply**. This sets up the tracker to be mounted on your forehead (choose the appropriate option based on your intended mounting position).
