Install Plex to OpenMediaVault

I have ESXi 5.1 on an HP ProLiant N54L microserver.  I created a VM and installed OpenMediaVault 0.4.32_amd64.  Now I want to install Plex.

There is a very good guide here.  Here is the abbreviated version.
  1. Log into the web administration page using default credentials.  Change password and enable ssh. Changing the password for admin (web access) changes the password for root.
  2. ssh into the box as root using the new password.  I use Putty.
  3.  Install aptitude and run an update.  If it doesn't work, it is because the web page has a lock on the package updater.  Reboot or find the process and kill it.
    • apt-get install aptitude
    • aptitude update
  4.  Install curl
    • aptitude install curl
  5. Update /etc/apt/source.list.d/plexmediaserver.list to have 'deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main'
  6. Add the key
    • curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | sudo apt-key add -
  7. Update again.  I saw 2 new packages from the last update.  Install plexmediaserver.
    • aptitude update
    • aptitude install plexmediaserver
  8. Make sure it is running (/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver status), then go to the web page at <IP>:32400/web.
