# Setting up Omniverse on Ubuntu 24.04 (2025 Ver)

NVIDIA is [deprecating support for Omniverse Launcher](https://developer.nvidia.com/omniverse/legacy-tools).

Instead, each application and extension should be installed separately.

Omniverse now comes as [Omniverse Kit SDK](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/omniverse/collections/kit).

## Download Kit

Go to the [Omniverse website](https://developer.nvidia.com/omniverse/) and scroll to the Get Started section.

Click "Linux" to download a zip folder.

Extract the zip folder at a known location. Here, we put it under `/home/tk/Documents/Omniverse/kit-sdk-public@106.5.0+1102.eecf68f2/`.

## Running Omniverse

To launch Omniverse, go to the kit install directory and run

```bash
./omni.app.full.sh
```

The Omniverse should now be running.

## Setting up Extensions

By default, this version of Omniverse do not have most of the Extensions enabled. We need to manually configure them in the UI interface.

### Setting up Onshape exporter

In the Omniverse application window, go to Window -> Extensions.

Search for Physx, install, enable, and set to be autoload

Similarly, search for Physx bundle and do the same

Then, create a new stage with File -> New, or Ctrl + N

The frame should be updated.
