Setting up of the GMOTE needs setting it up at the 2 sides:

     type the command: 

STEP 1)   tar -zxvf GmoteServerLinux2.0.0.tar.gz

Now after successful completion of these steps, as the process need the connection permission from the client side i.e. cell phone will be the client in this case it will prompt the password screen box on the screen. With the help of this password, the client can connect to server. The cell phone will also display the password dialog box.

Remember that (For Windows only) it is user must give the GMOTE the location of the media files, in order to access easily these files from the cell phones.

Note that GMOTE server works on port number 8889

     For setting up the connection at client side needs fewer efforts as compared to the server 
     side.

            STEP 1) For setting up the connection just go to android market

            STEP 2) Type 'GMOTE'.
