Updating the IDE

See Also

You can dynamically update the IDE using the Update Center wizard. You can choose from several Update Centers that offer different types of modules, like experimental new modules or old modules that are no longer in regular distribution.

When you connect to the Update Center, the IDE checks to see if there are new modules or new versions of already installed modules available. If new or updated modules are available, you can select which ones you would like. Then those modules are downloaded and installed in your IDE.

To connect to the Update Center:

  1. Choose Tools and choose Update Center from the main window to open the Update Center wizard.
  2. On the first page of the wizard, select the update center or update centers that you want to connect to.
  3. In the Available Updates and New Modules panel, select the modules that you want to install.

    Version information and a module description are displayed for the selected module.

  4. Click the right arrow  button to add those modules to the Include in Install panel. Then click Next.
  5. Click through the rest of the wizard to install the module.
tip If you receive the Unable to Connect to the Update Center Server error message, click OK in the dialog box to close it. Click the Proxy Configuration button in the wizard and set a proxy host and port number. Click OK to set the values and continue with your update.
