Installing relevant plugins in the Workbench

In order to use the CLC Bioinformatics Database from a CLC Workbench, you need to install the CLC Workbench Client Plugin in the Workbench. This plugin is needed for logging onto the server and accessing data from the server data locations.

Plugins are installed using the Plugins and Resources Manager^2.1, which can be accessed via the menu in the Workbench

        Help | Plugins and Resources ()

or via the Plugins () button on the Toolbar.

From within the Plugins and Resources Manager, choose the Download Plugins tab and click on the CLC Workbench Client Plugin. Then click in the button labeled Download and Install.

If you are working on a system not connected to the network, then you can also install the plugin by downloading the cpa file from the plugins page of our website

http://www.clcbio.com/clc-plugin/

Then start up the Plugin manager within the Workbench, and click on the button at the bottom of the Plugin manager labeled Install from File.

You need to restart the Workbench before the plugin is ready for use.

Note that if you want users to be able to use External applications on the server, there is a separate plug-in (CLC External Applications Plug-in) that needs to be installed in the Workbench the same way as described above.

Footnotes

... Manager^2.1

In order to install plug-ins on many systems, the Workbench must be run in administrator mode. On Windows Vista and Windows 7, you can do this by right-clicking the program shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator".
