Installing the App in Nautobot

Here you will find detailed instructions on how to install and configure the App within your Nautobot environment.

Prerequisites

  • The plugin is compatible with Nautobot 1.4.0 and higher, though Nautobot 1.5.x is recommended.
  • Databases supported: PostgreSQL, MySQL

Note

Please check the dedicated page for a full compatibility matrix and the deprecation policy.

Install Guide

Note

Plugins can be installed manually or using Python's pip. See the Nautobot documentation for more details. The pip package name for this plugin is nautobot-floor-plan.

The plugin is available as a Python package via PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install nautobot-floor-plan

To ensure Nautobot Floor Plan is automatically re-installed during future upgrades, create a file named local_requirements.txt (if not already existing) in the Nautobot root directory (alongside requirements.txt) and list the nautobot-floor-plan package:

echo nautobot-floor-plan >> local_requirements.txt

Once installed, the plugin needs to be enabled in your Nautobot configuration. The following block of code below shows the additional configuration required to be added to your nautobot_config.py file:

  • Append "nautobot_floor_plan" to the PLUGINS list.
# In your nautobot_config.py
PLUGINS = ["nautobot_floor_plan"]

Once the Nautobot configuration is updated, run the Post Upgrade command (nautobot-server post_upgrade) to run migrations and clear any cache:

nautobot-server post_upgrade

Then restart the Nautobot services which may include:

  • Nautobot
  • Nautobot Workers
  • Nautobot Scheduler
sudo systemctl restart nautobot nautobot-worker nautobot-scheduler

If the App has been installed successfully, the Nautobot web UI should now show a new "Location Floor Plans" menu item under the "Organization" menu.
