64-bit CPU.
At least 4GB of RAM.
.NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher.
Up to 63 GBs of free disk space, depending on entitlement to historical data.
A high-volume internet account with robust connectivity that can handle large downloads of historical data.
A supported charting/analysis application.
Note: After NDU has been installed, it requires a minimum of 500 MBs of free disk space on drive c: to keep functioning.

To install NDU

Download and then run the NDU installer.
Please Note: NDU is allowed to be installed on 2 machines that belong to the subscriber and are for his or her personal use.

Installation Paths

The NDU application is installed by default under the "Program Files" folder -
c:\Program Files\Norgate Data Updater.

The NDU database is installed by default under the "ProgramData" folder -
c:\ProgramData\Norgate Data

We recommend that users follow the default installation paths. If alternate paths are defined, please make sure that -

The NDU application and database are installed along separate paths
The NDU database is not installed under "Program Files"
The NDU database is not installed on a network drive or cloud storage drive (e.g. don't install it under your Dropbox folder)

Note 1: The "ProgramData" folder may be a hidden folder on your machine. Wherever the database is installed, it can be accessed directly from NDU by way of Settings > Database Location > View Database folder contents.
Note 2: NDU is designed to be installed by a "User". It is not designed to be installed by an "Administrator" with privileged access then given to several users.

Initial Data download

The historical data will be downloaded automatically when an update is performed for the first time. This may take a long time, depending on the amount of data you are entitled to and the speed of your internet connection. Approximate file download and on-disk sizes are shown here.

Notes:

if you elect to cancel the initial data download after it has started, you will be prompted to resume it on the next update attempt.
if you elect not to download any data at all, then linking the database to an external charting/analysis application cannot proceed.

After installation, the NDU application icon will appear on the Windows taskbar.

NDU Taskbar Icon

The application must remain open for automatic updates to occur (after working with the application, take care to minimise it rather than close it).

Various Start-up options can be found under Settings > Program Start-up.

Linking the Database to an external charting/analysis application

After an initial update has been performed to download historical data -

Select the "Integration" tab
Click the relevant application icon
Click the button to "Install Plug-in"

For more information, see -

AmiBroker Plug-in > Installation
RightEdge Plug-in > Installation

Changing the Database location

Click Settings > Database Location and make a note of the existing location.
Close NDU and any 3rd party charting/analysis applications that may access the data.
Create a new (empty) folder in the desired location and give it a suitable name. Please note - the location cannot be under "Program Files".
Move (or copy) all of the existing database files to the new location.
Open NDU and click Settings > Database Location. Then enter the new folder path or browse to and select the new folder.
Any database files not found in the new location will be downloaded with the next update.

Installing NDU on a new machine

To install NDU on a new machine, you need to run the NDU program installer.

After installation is complete, your first update attempt will download all the required historical data. However, instead of running an update straight-away, you may prefer to copy the entire contents of your existing NDU database folder over from the old machine. In particular, the "Configuration" sub-folder on the old machine will contain NDU Watchlists and Export Tasks. To check the location of your database folder, click on Settings > Database Location.

If you are currently running updates from 2 machines, and wish to install on a new one, the procedure is as follows -

Uninstall NDU on one of the old machines (do this in a prompt manner to avoid any problem).
Contact Norgate Data support and ask us to clear your existing hardware keys so that a new machine can be recognised.

Further information on this topic can be seen here.

UnInstalling

Before uninstalling NDU, make sure that the application is closed. The uninstall procedure may be used to uninstall the application alone or the application and the database. To access uninstall, go Start > All Programs > Norgate Data Updater > Uninstall.
