Backing up or Uninstalling Your Indigo Configuration

The easiest method to backup & transfer your Indigo (version 4) configuration to another machine is as follows:

1. Backup the /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/.  The method I suggest is to use the built-in compression tools, by going to the /Library/Application Support folder, and right clicking on Perceptive Automation.  Then choose Compress “Perceptive Automation”.
   • One issue with this method, is that you need to backup and also migrate any external Applescripts that you use with your automation.  I have created a folder in ~/Username/Documents/Indigo Scripts     that contains all of my external scripts…  Make sure to also copy any Applescripts, and place them in the same location on the new computer.
2. Take the zip file, and transfer it to the new computer, along with the latest Indigo Installer.
3. Uncompress the Perceptive Automation folder into the /Library/Application Support folder on the new computer
4. Install Indigo on the new computer.
5. If you have an W800Rf32A, you will need to install the KeySpan Driver (or equivalent)…  (This assumes you have the RS232 version)
6. If you use an 2413 or 2412, you will need the FTDI web site…  The Indigo Online homepage has the web link (See http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/indigo/help/html/00200_interfaceSetup.html ), or click here…
   • The Latest version that I have seen is v2.2.14 from October 21, 2009.
7. Start Indigo on the new machine, and File -> Open and choose your Indigo Database.
8. Check your preferences, and ensure that everything is running correctly…

I have used this process multiple times, and have not run into any real issues…

Alternatively, to manually Uninstall Indigo:

1. Remove the Indigo Application from your Applications folder (eg. Indigo 3.app , Indigo 4.app)
2. Remove the Indigo Folders from /Library –> Application Support –> Perceptive Automation –> Indigo 2 and/or Indigo 4
3. Remove from /System –> Library –> Extensions –> IndigoOverrides.kext
4. Remove from the Preferences folder ( ~/Library –> LaunchAgents –> com.perceptiveautomation.IndigoServer2.plist  )
5. Remove from the ~/Library –> Preferences    Folder the following files:
   • Indigo Client Prefs.indiPref
   • Indigo Client Settings.indiPref
   • com.perceptiveautomation.indigo_client.plist
   • com.perceptiveautomation.indigo_client4.plist
