Before you restart NinjaTrader, complete Step 3!

{% hint style="danger" %}
**IMPORT FAILED**

> Import failed. The NinjaScript Archive File may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC, modify a method signature that other scripts were dependent on, or be missing a required file...

If you see an error message similar to above during installation, it's most likely related to the way **OneDrive** is set up on your PC. OneDrive doesn't play nice with NT8.

To resolve this manually, unzip the contents of the XT Add-On zip file to the **Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\\** directory and restart NT8.\
\
Don't forget to complete Step 3 before doing so.
