Installation Options

Self-hosted users: On first launch, users will need to configure the connection to your Nexus instance:
  • Server URL: Your Nexus instance URL (e.g., https://Nexus.yourcompany.com)
  • Authentication: Sign in with your configured authentication method
The desktop app will remember the server URL after initial configuration. Users only need to authenticate on subsequent launches if their session expires.
