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?
Hi @vjain43 ,
@Marc_Lehner has provided you the source code link, where you can fin the source code. If you see the Read Me you will get more information.
If you need a head start try reading following article:
