Hi,

I'm running KNIME on the server in the console mode only. I belive it is possible to add new nodes (like Math, CDK, RDkit etc) via command line. I can download a zip package of all community supported nodes (via [download a zipped update site](https://forum.knime.com/update/community-contributions/nightly/CommunityContributions_US_Nightly.zip) or [Download KNIME Update Site](https://forum.knime.com/update/UpdateSite.zip)), but where to unzip it then?

best wishes,

Filip

Thanks!

I've checked this and some other methods, but finally used the simplest one - installed XFCE4 on the server and then connected via Xming, run KNIME in graphical mode and installed everything is needed. Fast and easy.
