You computer should appear in the list of hosts, select it to upload the template:

Select this template inside TouchOSC (its called Livecontrol).
Now double click LiveControl on mac or LiveControl/LiveControl.exe on windows

Run “Install LiveControl.jar”, this will install the MIDI Remote Script into your Ableton Live Directory. When prompted selected your Ableton Directory in the format Live x.x.x.

Copy the LiveControl.app (mac) or LiveControl folder (win) to your computer and launch the application, if you havnt already when configuring TouchOSC.
LiveControl will detect any devices attached to your network. Select a MIDI port you would like to use for MIDI input. On windows, install LoopBe1. On Mac the LiveControl.app provides two midi ports (from LiveControl 1 and 2).






Start Ableton Live and goto Preferences, then MIDI Preferences. Select LiveControl_TO from the control surfaces list. Leave MIDI In/Out ports empty. Make sure the MIDI port you selected above is enabled.
