Prerequisites

Before we dive into the installation process, let’s make sure you have everything you need:

1. Oculus Quest: Ensure that you have an Oculus Quest headset with Beat Saber already installed.
2. PC: Please note that currently, only PC is supported. Mac users can follow this guide using Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows on their Mac.
3. Type C to Type A USB Cable: You will need a Type C to Type A USB cable to connect your Oculus Quest to your PC. Please note that the cable that comes with the quest may not work if your PC or laptop doesn’t have a Type C connection. Make sure you have the appropriate cable.

Enabling Developer Mode

The first step is to enable developer mode on your Oculus account. Here’s how:

1. Using a browser, navigate to the Oculus Dashboard.
2. Log in to your Oculus account.
3. Click on “Create New Organization” and enter a name of your choice. Click “Submit” to proceed.
4. Agree to the terms and conditions.

Activating Developer Mode

Now, let’s activate developer mode on your Oculus Quest:

1. Open the Oculus app on your mobile device.
2. Ensure that your Oculus Quest is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device.
3. Under settings, tap on “Headset.”
4. In the drop-down menu, tap on “More Settings.”
5. Look for “Developer Mode” in the list and toggle it on.

Please note that from now on, whenever developer mode is enabled, you will need to use ADB to connect your quest to your PC for file transfers. If you need more information on how to use ADB, refer to our guide on how to use SteamVR with a Quest.
