Go to your X-Plane location. If you have the Steam version, right click on X-Plane, select *Properties* and then go to *Installed Files*. Then click *Browse...*. That's your X-Plane folder when using Steam.
The next step can be ignored on Windows, but is important on the Mac. By default downloaded software will be quarantined by your Mac. To fix this, open the Terminal app (in your Applications folder under Utilities) and type this command:
Replace `<your X-Plane folder>` with, well, your X-Plane folder.
# Install Stream Deck plugin
In the X-KeyPad plugin folder there's an `SD-plugin` folder. In it is the Stream Deck plugin that allows X-KeyPad to talk with your Stream Decks. Just double click it and it will be installed.
By default X-KeyPad will scan your X-Plane folder for profiles, so you'll need to make sure the `json` files from the file you downloaded are somewhere in your X-Plane folder. It doesn't matter where, X-KeyPad will find them. You can type in another path (in the *Root path* field), by the way.
Now select one of those files in the File Selector. Either `X-KeyPad-SD_a319_StdDef.json` or `X-KeyPad-SD_a319.json`, it doesn't matter, they're the same.
In this example the file was in the Aircraft folder already.
# Install the Stream Deck profile
There are two Stream Deck profiles in my ZIP file. One for the Stream Deck XL and one for the Stream Deck Plus. Double click on the ones that you have.
If you have a smaller Stream Deck, you'll need to try out what works for you. You can always add X-KeyPad keys by hand and then get the function names from the X-KeyPad configuration screen.
# Have fun
You're done now. You don't have to edit anything in any of the profiles, unless you want to.
