⚠️ Pending Components
1. WebSocket Plugin (Critical for Nitro Client)
Issue: The WebSocket plugin is required for Nitro client connectivity but couldn't be downloaded from git.krews.org due to server issues.
Status: Database settings configured, but plugin JAR file missing
Solutions:
- Wait for Krews GitLab to come back online: https://git.krews.org/nitro/ms-websockets
- Find alternative download source from community
- Use alternative emulator with built-in WebSocket support
2. Nitro Assets (Required for Full Functionality)
Issue: Complete converted Nitro assets unavailable due to Krews GitLab downtime.
Status: Partial assets found in Arcturus repo, but incomplete
Solutions:
- Download pre-converted assets when Krews GitLab is available: https://git.krews.org/oshawott/nitro-assets
- Convert assets manually using nitro-converter (30-60 minutes)
- Download complete asset pack from community forums
3. Client Installation

yarn install
yarn start # Development mode on port 3000
