Installing relevant plugins in the Workbench

To access the CLC Server from a CLC Workbench, the CLC Workbench Client Plugin must be installed in the Workbench. This will allow you to log into the CLC Server, access data from CLC Server file and data locations and submit analyses to your CLC Server.

Plugins are installed in a Workbench using the Plugins Manager2.1, which can be accessed via the menu in the Workbench

        Help | Plugins... (Image install_16_n_p)

or via the Plugins (Image install_16_n_p) button on the Toolbar.

From within the Plugins manager, choose the Download Plugins tab and click on the relevant plugin or 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 or module by downloading the cpa file from the plugins page of our website:

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.
