Download and install NVivo (PC) or Omnissa (VMware) (Mac)
- PC users with a UiO laptop: download and install NVivo from Software Center.
- PC users with a private laptop: UiO users can download and install from Winprog, and enter the license key provided at winprog on the NVivo activation page.
- Look for "provide enterprise key to activate" at the bottom of the activation page, and disregard the NVivo log in, see screenshot here.
- Mac users: UiO users can download and install Omnissa for UiO Program Kiosk which provides access to a range of programs, including NVivo. Follow the steps for initial setup.
- Follow the installation guidelines to grant Omnissa access to your local files by adding areas in "Drive Sharing" under Settings. See set up access to your own files and OneDrive in Program Kiosk.
- Unable to download and install NVivo or Omnissa?: In that case, you can use Omnissa for UiO Programkiosk in the web browser during the workshop.
- To grant access to your local files in Omnissa's web solution, select "Enable Folder Sharing" under Settings and select the folders you want to use.
Please see our guide for more help regarding getting started.
Prepare files to import to NVivo
You can use your own files in the course, but if you don't have any you can download these example files:
This zip file consists of a folder (president project), containing four sub folders (president inaugurals, president interviews, president first lady interviews, journal articles). Prior to the course, you need to make sure you can import the files you will work with to NVivo. Any zip file needs to be extracted (unpacked) before files from it can be imported to NVivo.
Place the files you wish to work with in an area from which you can import to NVivo. If you are working with NVivo through the Omnissa client, you need to set up access to your local files in Omnissa. Otherwise your UiO home area (M: drive) is the default for file import to all applications run in Omnissa.
See our help pages on files and import in Program Kiosk.
Test that it works
Test that you can open NVivo for Windows (either as a downloaded NVivo app if you have a PC or through Omnissa if you have a Mac) and create a New Project. In Project title you must enter a title for your project, and in File name you must check that the project file is saved in a recommended area. Click next and accept the default settings in the next window by clicking Create Project. An optional quick tour pops up before your project file opens.
Then click Import and check that you can import files to code.
