Install an Offline Extension Server

Run a local CAST Extend server for environments without internet access.

CAST Imaging uses extensions (plugins) to support specific technologies. In a standard installation, extensions are downloaded from the CAST Extend cloud service. In air-gapped environments, you need a local server.
