How to Install Modules on the Nexus Interface
Module Installation
Modules are add-ons for the Nexus Interface, some maybe developed by Nexus, others by community members. Either way this feature allows the Nexus Interface to expand to unlimited potential.
How to Install
First go to the modules github page and go to the release tab. All modules, unless run in developer mode, must be Open Source. Under a release you will see a Tar.gz or Zip file. Download this.
Then open up the Nexus Interface, and migrate to the Settings screen, then to the Modules tab.
Here you can select either an Archive (Tar.gz or Zip) file or a Directory (Folder)
For Archive file, select your Tar.gz or Zip file and hit open.
For Directory, select the folder. You may navigate inside the folder as long as no other folder is selected when you hit OK. OSs, like Mac OS, that auto extract archive files, must use this option.
If the wallet accepts this file or folder a pop-up will appear with information on the module you are about to install. Please verify that this information is correct. Remember any module developed by Nexus or a Team Member will be marked with a Check.
After the module is installed you will see the module on your module list. You can click on the module to get more details or toggle the switch to the right to turn off that module.
When you want to use the module click on the module’s icon that has appeared on the Interface’s bottom bar.
You have now successfully installed a Module!
Creating Your Own
There are endless possibilities with modules, both with Nexus integration and without. Please see our Module guide on how to get started.
