Step 5: Connect Your Device to the Computer

- Connect your Android device to your computer using the USB cable.
- Once connected, you might receive a prompt on your phone asking to allow the connection.

Step 6: Set Up SCRCPY

- Extract the downloaded SCRCPY zip file to a preferred location, such as the C drive on your computer.
- Navigate to the extracted SCRCPY folder and find the file named "scrcpy-noconsole.vbs."
- Double-click this file to start mirroring your Android device to your computer.

Optional: Set Up Wireless Connection

If you prefer to connect wirelessly:
- Ensure both your computer and Android device are connected to the same network.
- In the SCRCPY folder, double-click the "open a terminal here.bat" file to open a command prompt.
- Type `scrcpy --tcpip`, hit enter, this will establish a wireless connection.
- Once set up, you can disconnect the USB cable and continue mirroring your android device wirelessly.
