Hi everyone. Yesterday I downloaded Slicer 4.13.0 2021-08-11 in Mac and Windows, but there are some issues regarding the extensions ( incompatible with slicer) , VMTK library is not found when I used the " ExtractCenterline". Does anybody know how to address the issues?

Thanks in advance.

That was an issue with yesterday’s Slicer version. Try again with today’s version.

See the following for more details

> [@Unable to install extension - "Incompatible with Slicer r30110"](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/unable-to-install-extension-incompatible-with-slicer-r30110/19158/2):

> Thanks for the report, it is a side effect of [Upcoming downtime for download.slicer.org and extension manager due to package server transition - #3 by jcfr](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/upcoming-downtime-for-download-slicer-org-and-extension-manager-due-to-package-server-transition/17444/3), issue has been identified earlier today and I am currently working on this. For reference, this is now tracked in [Installed extensions are not loaded · Issue #5786 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/5786)

There is also an independent issue (caused by switching to VTK9) with VMTK packaging, only on macOS:

> <https://github.com/vmtk/SlicerExtension-VMTK/issues/37>
>
> The extension installation package does not contain VMTK binaries, only the Slic…er module .py files, for both latest Slicer Stable Release and Slicer Preview Release on macOS.
> 
> It seems that the recent upgrade to VTK9 broke packaging for VTK-8.2.

@jcfr may be able to fix it by the end of this week, but if not then he said he would be able to get back to it in a few weeks.
