This page describes how to manually install the plugin if automatic installations do not work
Plugin installation
The Server for Nx Witness, Nx Go and Nx Meta version 6.1.1 and newer are packaged with the Nx AI Manager Plugin, so a separate installation should not be necessary.
The Nx Client does not need a separate installation of the plugin.
Scripted installation
The default installation of Nx Witness comes with the plugin. A scripted installation is not provided.
The default installation of Nx Go comes with the plugin. A scripted installation is not provided.
If your installation did not come with the Nx AI Plugin, you can install it yourself.
The manual installation works on Linux based systems with a single command line script.
Installing the Nx AI Manager Plugin will restart the Nx Mediaserver. This should take a couple of seconds, and the client will reconnect automatically.
Open a terminal window on the device where you installed the Nx Mediaserver and execute the following command to install the Nx AI Manager plugin:
This script will download the latest plugin and place it in the appropriate plugin folder.
The installation will detect some features of the device and select the appropriate settings for installation. This should be sufficient for most users and devices, however it could be the case that some customization is desired, or that the automatic installation did not go well. In that case, you can manually install the Nx AI Manager.
Re-installation or Updates
If you want to update or re-install the Nx AI Manager Plugin you can safely re-run the same command.
The old version of the plugin will be removed by the install script before the new version is installed.
Your settings will be stored and reused. You will still need to check the settings, because in some cases new options are available that require some changes. An example might be a new runtime that is available for your hardware.
Advanced manual installation

Where your installed version of the MediaServer can be different for each variant of the Nx Client - like Nx Meta VMS
Customized installation path
The install path can be customized for testing purposes and manually started to see output. However, the Nx AI Manager Plugin expects the Nx AI Manager to be installed in the same folder, and the Stop/Start commands from the Nx AI Manager Plugin UI will not work if the Nx AI Manager is installed somewhere else.
