2.1 Starting Launcher

To start Launcher:

  • On a Linux system:
  • You must have a graphical environment (such as X11, GNOME or KDE) running.

    • Open a command prompt and navigate to the Connext installation directory. Run the script bin/rtilauncher.
    • Alternatively, use your browser to navigate to your Connext installation directory’s bin directory and double-click rtilauncher.
  • On a macOS system:
  • If you installed Connext in the /Applications directory, the LaunchPad utility should show RTI Launcher in the Connext folder (rti_connext_dds-version). Click on it to open Launcher.

  • On a Windows system:
  • There are three ways to run RTI Launcher on a Windows system:

    • In the Start menu, expand the entry RTI Connext <version> and then select RTI Launcher <version>.
    • Use Windows Explorer to navigate to your Connext installation directory’s bin folder (for example, C:\Program Files\rti_connext_dds-version\bin., then double-click rtilauncher.bat.
    • From a command prompt, navigate to <NDDSHOME>/bin and run rtilauncher.bat.
