DePress requires working Eclipse with KNIME for both users and developers.

KNIME SDK

  1. Download KNIME SDK in version 2.8.0 (it is just our suggestion, DePress should also work with other versions but if not, use 2.8.0 as we mentioned).
  2. Extract files. You do not have to install anything. You can start using KNIME just by clicking executable file eclipse.exe.
  3. It is sometimes needed for DePress to increase KNIME's memory. To do so, go to the folder where KNIME has been extracted, find a file eclipse.ini. Click on it with the right mouse button and edit the file with eg. Notepad. At the end of the file add -XX:MaxPermSize=256m (you can choose any other value; 256m is usually enough).
  4. You can switch to KNIME perspective by clicking on the table icon on the top right corner of Eclipse window. Choose KNIME(if you can not see it, click Other... - it should be there somewhere).
  5. In case of any problem, you can look for help at the KNIME's website.
