I have downloaded the code for autopsy [https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy](https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy), and run autopsy from netbeans. It is working fine. It is taking 10 minutes for it to build and rum. I want to know how can I create ingest module. [https://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/api-docs/4.1/mod\_ingest\_page.html](https://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/api-docs/4.1/mod_ingest_page.html) I dont see on this page specification, on how I create project in netbeans. Javafx project? Module? Is there more in detail guidance on where to start? ---

I think this page answers your questions on getting started in Java: [http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/api-docs/4.14.0//mod\_dev\_page.html](http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/api-docs/4.14.0//mod_dev_page.html) ---

I just downloaded NetBeans and followed the directions and they don’t match the latest version of NetBeans. I can’t create a NetBeans Module that works with Autopsy. Can someone point me towards the version of NetBeans that works with the instructions? ---

What version of netbeans are you using? What errors are you getting? ---

Thanks for the fast reply and for your help! I love Autopsy and am excited to create a module. I’m using Apache Netbeans IDE 12.3. The problem is that the IDE immediately diverges from the instructions. When I chose to create a NetBeans Module I don’t have the choice about what type of module I create. There isn’t a manage button to connect the module to Autopsy and after the module is created the options are different under the project properties. ---

I am using NB’s 12.0. Here are some screen shots that I took in order to create a module. See if they make sense and help and let me know. ![nb-step-1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/7/707b78dd613086372cde82ebfb49488ec1cf4d19.png) ![nb-step-2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/1/1d3bc63cc2fe0d220d946d9a7b11f0af2eb17465.png) ![nb-step-3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/d/d19d052dc2d5ca1c46a0bb7a3c00360fe54f0cb7.png) You will have to download Autopsy zip file for the version of Autopsy you want to build for. ![nb-step-4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/8/853d61f24db6e26a826f19e79d7654214e06ef05.png) ![nb-step-5](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/d/d168ef0ca0ee27d078c8c739c8ab2fe14b254ac2.png) Hope this helps. ---

That worked! Thank you!!! I was making a Maven Netbeans module and didn’t see the Ant Netbeans Module. You’re awesome! Thank you so much!!!
