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.

To make it easier for an end user to install, a developer could provide a utility script…

Windows

install.bat
my_company.usd_explorer.windows.zip

…where install.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
call start omniverse-launcher://install?path="%~dp0\my_company.usd_explorer.windows.zip"  %*

Linux

When using Linux, if commands fail for you should first try an sudo apt-get update followed by an install for the tool that might be failing, in this case sudo apt-get install xdg-utils.

install.sh
my_company.usd_explorer.linux.zip

…and where install.sh contains:

xdg-open omniverse-launcher://install?path="%~dp0/my_company.usd_explorer.linux.zip"  %*
