Paths Mentioned in Documentation
<NDDSHOME>
This documentation refers to the following directories, depending on your operating system:
$NDDSHOME This refers to the installation directory for Connext.
The default installation paths are:
Non-root user:
/home/<your user name>/rti_connext_dds-<version>Root user:
/opt/rti_connext_dds-<version>
$NDDSHOME is an environment variable set to the installation path.
$NDDSHOME This refers to the installation directory for Connext.
The default installation path is:
/Applications/rti_connext_dds-<version>
$NDDSHOME is an environment variable set to the installation path.
%NDDSHOME% This refers to the installation directory for Connext.

%NDDSHOME% is an environment variable set to the installation path.
Note
When using a command prompt to enter a command that includes the path
C:\Program Files (or any directory name that has a space), enclose
the path in quotation marks. For example:
“C:\Program Files\rti_connext_dds-version\bin\rtilauncher.bat”.
Or if you have defined the NDDSHOME environment variable:
"%NDDSHOME%\bin\rtilauncher.bat".
Sometimes this documentation uses <NDDSHOME> to refer to the installation path.
Whenever you see <NDDSHOME> used in a path, replace it with $NDDSHOME for Linux or
macOS systems, with %NDDSHOME% for Windows systems, or with your installation path.
API Reference HTML Documentation
Default path: <NDDSHOME>/doc/api/connext_dds/api_<language>
<path to examples>
By default, examples are copied into your home directory the first time you
run RTI Launcher or any script in <NDDSHOME>/bin. This document refers
to the location of the copied examples as <path to examples>.
Wherever you see <path to examples>, replace it with the appropriate path.
Default path to the examples:
/home/<your user name>/rti_workspace/<version>/examples
/Users/<your user name>/rti_workspace/<version>/examples
<your Windows documents folder>\rti_workspace\<version>\examples
(where ‘your Windows documents folder’ depends on your version of Windows;
for example, on Windows 11 systems, the folder is C:\Users\your user name\Documents)
Note
You can specify a different location for rti_workspace. You can also
specify that you do not want the examples copied to the workspace. For
details, see Controlling Location for RTI Workspace and Copying of Examples.
