Installation of modules
In order to install plugins and modules, the Workbench must be run in administrator mode. On Linux and Mac, it means you must be logged in as an administrator. On Windows, you can do this by right-clicking the program shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator".
Modules are installed using the Plugins Manager, which can be accessed via the Plugins (
) button on the Toolbar.
From within the Plugins manager (see figure 2.1), choose the Download Plugins tab and click on CLC Microbial Genomics Module. Then click on the button labeled Download and Install.
If you are working on a system not connected to the internet, then you can also install the plugin by downloading the *.cpa file from the plugins page of our website
http://www.qiagenbioinformatics.com/plugins/
Then click on the button at the bottom of the Plugins manager labeled Install from File.
You need to restart the Workbench before the module is ready for use.
Figure 2.1: The plugins that are available for download are listed in the Download Plugins tab of the Plugin Manager.
