STEM Add-ons

The information on this page applies to STEM version 1.2.1 or later

About

STEM now offers the ability for users to selectively "add-on" new features not bundled with the main STEM download. This enables us to deliver rich new functionality that ordinarily couldn't be made available due to size or other concerns, such as additional denominator data or disease models.

Getting and Installing Add-Ons

STEM utilizes the Eclipse Update mechanism built into the application to select, download, and install additional features.

  1. Open the STEM application. Make sure you're running STEM version 1.2.1 or later.
  2. Select the Help menu and choose Install New Software

  3. When the Install window opens, select STEM Add-ons from the Work With: drop down menu

  4. Wait for STEM to contact the repository and download the list of available features
  5. Choose the features you want to install by selecting the checkboxes next to the feature name in the list

  6. When you have selected everything you wish to install, click Next
  7. On the Install Details page, verify the features you wish to install. When finished, click Next

  8. On the Review Licenses page, read and accept any licenses associated with the features.

    • If you accept the terms, select I accept the terms of the license agreement and click Finish
    • If you do not accept the license terms, click Cancel
  9. The installer will now begin downloading the selected features. Depending on the size, this process may take a while.
  10. If prompted with a Security Warning that you're about to install unsigned content, click OK
    • Important note: STEM Add-on features are hosted by the Eclipse Foundation and approved by the STEM project. These add-ons pose no security risk.

  11. When the install finishes, you will be prompted to restart STEM
    • If all your changes are saved, click Restart Now
    • Otherwise, click Not Now, save any changes, and restart STEM
