After installing the app, you need to turn on data stream. Open the stream port at 5000. Remember that you should connect Muse 2 with your phone to enable streaming. After streaming is turned on use either ./muse2/mindmonitor_stream.py or ./muse2/mindmonitor_stream_focus.py to stream in real time.

To activate it run the following command in the terminal:

cd muse2
python mindmonitor_stream.py
