I really like 3DSlicer but since I am at a hospital environment IT can be very frustrating even though I have Admin privileges on my Win workstation. The standard Install Extensions is blocked by our hospital Proxy server and I get:
I didn’t see any help on the forum so here is what I have learned to get around this.
Open a web browser to http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/slicerappstore/
Click the download of the extension and then save to a local drive you have full privileges.
Open the Extension Manager in 3DSlicer, click the ‘install Extensions’ tab
Click the wrench icon with arrowhead and pick install extension from file
Navigate and select that file you just downloaded.
Wait for a bit (you may not get a message that the extension has been installed …)
restart 3DSlicer
You can delete the file you just downloaded if you want.
done!
This question has come up a couple of times on the forum (for example Cannot download extensions), it’s interesting that it is not easy to find these posts. Googling “slicer manual download of extension” brings up the relevant page, too.
I think the necessary instructions were already described on the page but it was not obvious to find it (the page is quite long). I’ve now added a link from the “How to manually install an extension package?” section to the relevant section above to make the instructions easier to find.
Hi Andras,
I wrote a module which was working fine in the older version slicer 4.11.0.2020.02.__. The new stable version of slicer is reporting a problem
Processing started
error: [/home/saima/Downloads/Downloads/slicer/bin/SlicerApp-real] exit abnormally - Report the problem.
It crashes when I click apply button. I do not understand whats happening.
