Hello I am trying to use the SAMM module in 3-D slicer. I was unable to import it using the extensions manager and I saw that I can use this command to use any outside extension:` Slicer.exe --additional-module-paths D:\Downloads\samm-main\samm-main\samm`
When I run that command on cmd I get this:
```auto
'Slicer.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
```
What should I do? Is there a different method I should import modules?

You need to go the folder where `Slicer.exe` is. For example, using this command:
```
cd %LOCALAPPDATA%\slicer.org\Slicer 5.4.0
```

Thank you that worked! But now I have a new problem:
After running this command:
```auto
Slicer.exe --additional-module-paths D:\Downloads\samm-main\samm-main\samm
```
Slicer opens, but the module doesn’t show up in 3-d slicer:
The SAMM folder looks like this:

Does anyone know what’s wrong? There were no errors in the console.

I used `Slicer.exe --additional-module-paths D:/Downloads/samm-main/samm-main`. But this still didn’t work.

I think you are missing the final /samm folder in your path.
like this:
> [@Vineet\_Saravanan](#):
>
> `Slicer.exe --additional-module-paths D:\Downloads\samm-main\samm-main\samm`
Also instructions says you need to use extension wizard, did you try that? That might generate an error for you to understand why it is failing.

I made some data of a segmented brain. What’s the best way to use this data and train using SAMM?

Not sure if anyone here has any experience using SAMM to train a segmentation model. If you have already created some labeled data, you can give MonaiLabel a try though…

I am trying to compare MONAILABEL and SAMM.

I might be wrong, but I believe SAMM Slicer extension only allows you to use the SAM tool for segmentation. I am not sure if it actually offers any retraining functionality.
You might have better luck contacting the extension developers, I am not sure if they are tracking this forum.

Ok, thank you. I will ask in the github.
