# Before you Begin

To handle connector actions, you must install some additional components that are not included in the NiFi Ingest package.

To install the additional components

1. Download the IDOL NiFi Connector Routing zip package for your chosen platform.
2. Extract the file `idol-nifi-connector-router-nar-12.8.0.nar`. Copy it into the `extensions` directory of your NiFi installation. (For Apache NiFi versions earlier than 1.9.0, copy the file into the `lib` folder and then restart NiFi).
3. Upload the `Connector_ACI_Server.xml` template through the Apache NiFi user interface, as described in Use Templates.
