02 The RapidMiner Marketplace - Product Extensions Video Lecture | Rapid Miner: Learn and Master - Data & Analytics

Hello and welcome to this short module on adding
extensions to your RapidMiner Studio.
Extensions are available in the RapidMiner Marketplace
and we will show you, how to install them in this video.
To start, go to the ‘extensions’-menu and select
‘Marketplace’, which will bring you to this dialog.
Here you can see that you have a ‘search’ option in case
you know what you are looking for or if you want to
search for a specific topic using a key-word.
In the top-downloads window you can see some of the
most popular Extensions such as 'Text Processing' and
an extension for the integration of 'R Scripting'.
If you are just getting started with RapidMiner
we recommend that you just go ahead and
install the following: 'text processing', 'web mining',
extensions 'Python' or 'R' integration,
'Anomaly Detection', the 'Series Extension' and if you are
going to use 'Hadoop' you should also install the
'Radoop' extension, which is developed and supported
by RapidMiner.
So now let's go ahead and install some extensions for
the purpose of demonstration. We click on
'Web mining' and check the box for installation.
When we now select 'Install 1 packages' we see that
'Web mining' also requires the 'Text processing'
extension, hence this will be automatically installed as
well - automatically installed as well -
you won't need to worry about selecting it.
But before we do the installation let's add the
'Radoop' extension as well. So we click on 'Don't install'.
You can see that 'Web mining' is now 'marked for
installation'.
We identify the 'Radoop' extension via the search option
- click on it, tick the box to select it for Installation,
and after we have confirmed to install and accepted
the license agreements - our download and installation will start.
Through the magic of video-editing we will jump over
this and the following product restart.
Alas if you look into the 'Extensions' folder in your operator panel
you can now see one new folder per extension and for the 'Radoop' extension
also another ‘view’ was added as indicated here.
To manage and uninstall your extensions you can select the 'Extensions', 'Manage Extensions'-menu.
Further info and details of the option for bookmarking extensions of interest
is available on the marketplace website via https://marketplace.rapidminer.com/.
The marketplace-website is also extremely helpful if you are not able to reach the marketplace
from within the product, for example when you are sitting behind a proxy or firewall.
In that case download the jar file and paste it into the 'extensions'-folder which is typically under
C:\Users\\.RapidMiner\extensions\ on Windows machine
and under a similar folders under the respective user directories of Linux and Mac.
Once the files are copied, restart your RapidMiner Studio so the extension becomes available.
Ok this is all we had on extensions.
Thanks for watching!
