Disclaimer
Enabling the National Instruments Connexions LabVIEW Browser Plug-in for local execution will allow your computer to automatically download and run any LabVIEW VI posted on-line in the proper format. This feature is designed to facilitate use of on-line interactive LabVIEW VIs. Once the browser plug-in has been enabled, you will be prompted to accept or reject on-line VI(s) from a particular content provider. These VI(s) may be made available by a third party, which, in such cases, is solely responsible for its content. National Instruments has not reviewed such content, does not support such content, and does not guarantee the quality of such content in any way. Please be aware that you are enabling this feature at your own risk, and understand that such VI(s) could contain malicious code that could damage your computer. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE BY THIRD PARTIES FOR USE WITH THE BROWSER PLUG-IN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Note:

The Connexions LabVIEW Browser Plug-in for Windows differs from other LabVIEW Run-Time engines available for download on ni.com and should be uninstalled before installing a different version of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine or the LabVIEW Development Environment.

Please correct the Linux Plugin setup procedure
The Remote Front Panel plugin for the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine is installed by default to /usr/local/lib/LabVIEW-x.x. After installing the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, copy the shared object file (LV71NPlugin.so, LV7NPlugin.so, or LVNPlugin.so) from the aforementioned location to /usr/local/(your browser)/plugins.
