# Install Optional Components

Many Knowledge Discovery features are available through NiFi Ingest. The following components are not included in the NiFi Ingest distribution but can be installed separately.

- Connectors. Connectors retrieve information from data repositories. With the NiFi Ingest framework you can deploy connectors as NiFi processors, rather than as separate components. To install a connector, obtain the `*.nar` file from the connector package. For a list of Connectors that are available through NiFi Ingest, see Connectors.

- Text. You can categorize documents using the EmbeddedContent processor. To install this processor, obtain the `*.nar` file from the Content component package.

  You can also generate categories using the AutoCategorizeGenerator processor, and label documents with categories by using the AutoCategorizeLabeller processor. To install these processors, obtain the `*.nar` file from the Category component package.

- Document Embeddings. You can use the DocumentEmbeddings processor to generate vector embeddings for your documents, based on a model that you configure. To install this processor, obtain the `*.nar` files from the Document Embeddings package.

- Rich Media. You can run some types of media analysis, such as optical character recognition and speech-to-text, in NiFi Ingest without having to deploy a separate Media Server. To install the media analysis components, obtain the `*.nar` files from the `NiFiMediaServer` package.

IMPORTANT: The `.nar` files supplied with Knowledge Discovery components are platform dependent. For example, if you run NiFi Ingest on Linux, obtain the File System Connector `.nar` file from the File System Connector package for Linux.

IMPORTANT: Optional components depend on the NiFi Ingest framework. Before adding any optional components, ensure that you have installed the NiFi Ingest framework, as described in Install NiFi Ingest. The version numbers of the NiFi Ingest framework and optional components must match. If necessary, you can install several different versions of the NiFi Ingest framework.

To install optional components

1. Stop NiFi, if it is running.

2. Add the `*.nar` files for the optional components to `InstallDir/extensions/`, where `InstallDir` represents your Apache NiFi installation directory.

3. Start NiFi.
