Kit Testing#

Goal: Download and configure the Kit SDK, then connect from Kit to your Storage deployment to browse and test storage.

Download and Configure Kit#

Omniverse Kit 109 and above can be used to test Storage API deployments.

  1. Download Kit 109 SDK or later Download from the appropriate link: Linux or Windows.

    Kit SDK Download

  2. Extract and Prepare the SDK Unzip the archive and cd into the extracted directory.

    cd kit-sdk-linux-109.0.1

  3. Configure Kit for Your Deployment (Kit earlier than 110.2 only) For Kit versions before 110.2, set the Discovery service URL in the Kit launch script (omni.app.full.sh on Linux, or the .bat file on Windows) using OMNI_STORAGE_DISCOVERY.

    Insert the line below into your launch script before the executable line (for example, before the ${EXEC:-exec} line in omni.app.full.sh). Replace {discovery-url} with your Discovery service URL.

    # for local deployment or deployments that do not use secure connections use http://{discovery-url} instead of https://{discovery-url}
export OMNI_STORAGE_DISCOVERY=https://{discovery-url}

  4. Launch Kit Save any launch-script changes and start Kit:

    ./omni.app.full.sh

For Kit 110.2 and later, the Discovery URL step is not required. Launch Kit and jump straight to Connecting to the Storage Deployment.
