<h2>Downloading BlueBomb and Executing the Script</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Launch Terminal inside the VM</li>
	<li>Execute the following commands to change directory into Downloads and download the BlueBomb script
	<div class="codeBlock">cd Downloads<br />
	https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RiiConnect24/Wii-Guide/master/assets/files/bluebomb-helper.sh<br />
	chmod +x bluebomb-helper.sh</div>
	</li>
	<li>To execute the script enter the following command:
	<div class="codeBlock">./bluebomb-helper.sh</div>
	</li>
	<li>The BlueBomb script will ask if this is a Wii or Wii Mini</li>
	<li>It will then ask for the region (if Wii Mini) or the Wii Menu version (if Wii), enter the requested information &gt; Press Enter</li>
	<li>Type yes to proceed &gt; Press Enter</li>
	<li>At this point you will either get &quot;Waiting to accept&quot; or the error &quot;Failed to power on device: -1&quot;</li>
	<li>If you get the error press Ctrl+C to cancel the script and re-run it by pressing the up arrow and pressing Enter (It took me 2 tries)</li>
	<li>Power on the Wii but don&#39;t pair any WiiMotes with it</li>
	<li>Press the pair controller button the Wii console once every 2 or 3 seconds until the BlueBomb script makes a connection and starts pushing the payload over the Bluetooth connection</li>
	<li>Once completed the Wii will be at the HackMii Installer screen</li>
	<li>Wait for about a minute and it will prompt you to Press 1 to continue</li>
	<li>Pair a WiiMote with the console as normal and press 1</li>
	<li>Press A to Continue</li>
	<li>Using the D-pad, scroll up to Install the Homebrew Channel &gt; Press A</li>
	<li>Select Yes, continue &gt; Press A</li>
	<li>Select Exit &gt; Press A</li>
