Updating Existing Schrödinger KNIME Extensions
If you have direct access to the web, you can update the existing Schrödinger KNIME extensions to new versions using the update mechanism in KNIME, as follows.
| 1. | Start KNIME. |
| 2. | Choose Help → Check for Updates. |
The Contacting Software Sites panel opens, and checks for updates to the software, by contacting the web sites defined in your Available Software Sites preferences (see File → Preferences → Install/Update). You are prompted to log on to the Schrödinger web site.
| 3. | Enter your email address and password (as you normally do to log on to the Schrödinger web site). |
If there are updates, the Available Updates window opens, listing the updates that are available. This list includes updates to all installed KNIME components.
| 4. | Review the list of updates, and deselect any items that you do not want to update. |
If you only want to update the Schrödinger extensions, deselect all other updates.
If you update the KNIME Desktop or Eclipse, we do not guarantee that the Schrödinger extensions will continue to work.
| 5. | Click Next. |
The detailed list of items to be upgraded is shown, including any dependencies.
| 6. | Click Next. |
License agreements are displayed.
| 7. | Accept the license agreement, and click Finish. |
The download begins. As the Schrödinger plugins are signed, you will be asked to accept this information.
| 8. | Restart KNIME when prompted. |
If you do not have direct access to the web, you can update existing extensions from a downloaded archive of the update site by following the procedure for adding extensions.
