Hi, I am on a new install behind company firewalls so I am trying to install the extensions using the offline Archives, ( 5.3.2). When trying to install the AI extension I receive the following error, An error occurred while installing the items session context was:(profile=KNIMEProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null → [R]org.knime.python.llm.channel.bin.win32.x86_64 5.3.2.v202408261553, action=org.knime.product.p2.actions.ShellExec). ShellExec command exited non-zero exit value: Installation of the Python extension failed: critical libmamba Download error (6) Couldn’t resolve host name [ https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/win-64/ca-certificates-2024.8.30-h56e8100_0.conda ] See the files “C:\Program Files\KNIME\plugins\org.knime.python.llm.channel.bin.win32.x86_64_5.3.2.v202408261553\bin\create_env.out” and “C:\Program Files\KNIME\plugins\org.knime.python.llm.channel.bin.win32.x86_64_5.3.2.v202408261553\bin\create_env.err” for details. The error looks like there is a call to the external Anaconda URL which would be impossible as we do not allow access to the internet. In Preferences I am pointing the Conda preferences to a local install from a rival software that includes a miniconda3 installation. Is there a way around this limitation ? thanks

@mgirdwood you can try several things to install python extensions if you are behind a firewall.

Also there should be improvements coming to make this installation easier.
