/*! \page module_install_page Installing 3rd Party Modules
There are various places in Autopsy that developers can write custom plug-in modules. This page covers how to install them.
There are two types of modules:
- Modules written in Java that are shipped in NBM (NetBeans Module) files.
- Modules written in Python that are shipped as a folder in a ZIP file.
\section module_install_nbm Installing NetBeans Module
If you have a NBM file, then it may contain one or more Autopsy modules. To install it, use the plugin manager at "Tools" > "Plugins".
Choose the "Downloaded" tab and then choose "Add Plugins". Browse to the NBM file. It may require you to restart Autopsy.
\section module_install_python Installing Python Module
If you have a ZIP file with a Python module in it, then unzip the file and you should get a folder. Open the Python module library folder using Tools -> Python Plugins. Copy the module folder into there and Autopsy should identify it next time it loads modules.
