Launcher#

Launcher packages can be installed via the Omniverse Launcher. The archive should NOT be unzipped prior to installation.

  1. Make sure an Omniverse launcher is installed.

  2. Assuming the package is at C:/my_company.usd_explorer.zip, open up a shell and execute:

    • Windows: start omniverse-launcher://install?path="C:\my_company.usd_explorer.zip"

    • Linux: xdg-open omniverse-launcher://install?path="C:/my_company.usd_explorer.zip"

  3. The Launcher shows an installation progress bar.

  4. Once installation is complete, the application is listed in the Library tab’s Apps section.
