Installing Launcher

Local Admin Rights on the installed computer is recommended for full use and capability of the Omniverse Launcher. Though the launcher will install without admin rights some tools, connectors, apps, etc. may require admin rights (UAC) to complete the installation.

First Run

When first running the launcher after install, you will be presented with a series of options.

Data Collection

Users must agree to allow NVIDIA to collect data regarding usage of the Omniverse Platform.
