Installing the Schrödinger KNIME Extensions

  1. Start KNIME, if it is not already running.

  2. Choose Help Install New Software.

    The Install Available Software panel opens.

  3. In the Available Software tab, click Add.

    The Add Repository dialog box opens.

  4. Specify the location of the update site:

    If you are using the web site directly:

    1. Enter the following URL in the Location text box:

      https://update.knime.com/partner/<KNIME version>

      You can also enter a name to identify the site.

    2. Click OK in the Add Repository dialog box.

    3. Enter your user name (email address) and password for the Schrödinger web site.

    If you downloaded the archived site (or are using the archived site in the Schrödinger installation):

    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 software from this site is listed in the center of the panel.

  5. Select the newly created tree for the update site.

  6. Ensure that Show only the latest versions of available software and Hide items that have already been installed are both selected.

  7. Select the Schrödinger nodes you want to install, by clicking the check boxes.

    The Schrodinger Nodes for Knime core extensions feature must be selected to use any Schrödinger node or renderer. The 2D renderers are optional; the renderer core feature is required to use any of the renderers (Maestro, SD and SMILES).

  8. Click Next.

    License agreements are displayed.

  9. Accept the license agreements and click Next.

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

  10. Click Restart KNIME Now.

    KNIME restarts, and you can proceed to the identification of the Schrödinger software installation to KNIME.
