Adding New Schrödinger KNIME Extensions

Adding new Schrödinger extensions uses a very similar mechanism to installing the Schrödinger extensions into an existing KNIME installation. You can do this from the Schrödinger KNIME update web site or from a downloaded archive of this web site.

1. Start KNIME.

2. Choose Help → Install New Software.

   The Install Available Software panel opens.

3. Ensure that Show only the latest versions of available software is selected.

4. If you are installing the new extensions from the web site, do the following:

   1. Open the Schrödinger site.

      The URL should be https://update.knime.com/partner/<KNIME version>. This URL is automatically added when you install KNIME as part of the Schrödinger software.

      You are prompted to log on to the Schrödinger web site.

   2. Enter your email address and password (as you normally do to log on to the Schrödinger web site).

   Otherwise, if you are installing the new extensions from a zip archive of the site (which can be downloaded or available in your Schrödinger installation), do the following:

   1. In the Available Software tab, click Add.

      The Add Repository dialog box opens.

   1. Click Archive.

   2. Navigate to and select the zip file.

   3. Click OK in the file selector.

   4. Click OK in the Add Repository dialog box.

   The available extensions should now be displayed under the URL.

5. Select the Schrödinger nodes you want to install.

6. Click Next.

   License agreements are displayed.

7. Accept the license agreement, and click Next.

   The installation begins. As the Schrödinger plugins are signed, you will be asked to accept this information.

8. Restart KNIME when prompted.

You can also use this panel to update or install nodes from sources other than Schrödinger.
