Listing/Itemizing Installed Extensions

I did a quick scan, and I couldn’t find the answer to this question, but my apologies if this is obvious.

I want to itemize the installed extensions, and just the extensions, that I have installed. How can I go about doing that? I can see the list of everything that is installed, but it’s not jumping out to me which extensions/plugins are those that do not come with the base install. Obviously I don’t want to uninstall anything that is part of the required set.

My reference set is Orange and RapidMiner, where the delineation between “base” and extensions is pretty straight forward.

Hey there,

you can see what you have installed by going to:

Help => About KNIME Analytics Platform => Installation Details

That is also where you could uninstall an extension you want to get rid of:

Thank you. I was looking to see if I could find just the extensions isolated from the base utilities that are installed with KNIME from the onset. Is there an easy pathway? My frame of reference is to help students who may have either installed too many or lack the plugins I ask them to use in class.

@Brock_Tibert if you use Windows you can just zip your version (the KNIME folder) and they can unpack it.

Hi @Brock_Tibert ,

I’m wondering if the attached workflow could assist.

I’ve just thrown it together so no real testing, but maybe it could be built on. It reads and lists all the features from the currently executing installation.

Possibly that list can then be compared with the output from another installation (e.g. a known base-install, and then you have both the core and the extensions)

That’s the theory. As I say, I haven’t time to do any tests other than just to see the flow itself returns some results.

The fact that is even possible is wild. Thanks for the idea! Maybe it’s not as straight forward, which is ok. My reference is other low/no code applications tend to isolate the “base” packages from add-ons very clearly. Not a big deal.
