Now that Plex is installed, and you have verified it is running, now would be a good time to take a backup of your Plex Media Server. At this point, if you choose to run Plex as is you can then launch Plex (if you didn't start it at the end of the install), and navigate to the Plex URL in your Web browser ( address of you Plex system]:32400/web/index.html#).
