How to Build KNIME Analytics Platform from Source Code

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hi KNIME Team,

I’d like to build the KNIME Analytics Platform from source for development purposes, but I’m unsure about the correct and up-to-date steps.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

  • Which repositories should I clone?
  • What are the prerequisites (e.g., Java version, Maven, Eclipse)?
  • How do I configure the development environment (target platform, settings)?
  • How can I resolve dependencies like ap.parent or other missing POMs?
  • What is the correct build command to compile and run the platform locally?

I’ve seen some older documentation, but I’d appreciate a current and complete guide for building the latest version.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @vjain43
The GitHub repo knime-sdk-setup contains all the information on how to build it and the prerequisites.

Hi @Marc_Lehner ,
My goal is to build the KNIME Analytics Platform executable from the source code. This will allow me to make custom changes directly in the source and test them within a full build.

Could you please guide me on the best approach or point me to any documentation that outlines the process for building the KNIME executable from source?
