This section shows how to install features using the Feature Manager.
Pay attention to the following before installing features to Talend Studio:
- An installed feature must be active if you want to use it in your project. You can
activate or deactivate any installed feature in any project and on any branch. For
more information, see Activating/Deactivating installed features.
- For a local project, after a feature is installed, by default, it is active only in
the current project.
- For a remote project, after a feature is installed, by default, it is active only in
the current project on the current branch. When switching between branches, if
active features are different between current branch and target branch, Talend Studio
will be restarted.
- For a newly created project, all features already installed are active by
default.
- When importing or migrating a project from 8.0, Talend Studio
automatically installs and activates all features you have installed and activated
for the project.
- When importing or migrating a project from 7.3 or earlier, Talend Studio
automatically installs and activates all features required by the project items. The
features that are independent of the project items cannot be installed
automatically, for example, Build Docker image and
Publish to artifact repository.
- The feature packages are, by default, downloaded from Talend
official site. You can configure the URL of the repository for Talend Studio
feature packages. For more information, see Configuring update repositories.
Procedure
-
Launch your Talend Studio and log into the project in which you want to install and activate the
features.
-
Click the Feature Manager button on the top bar or
select from the menu.
If an Authentication dialog box for logging in to the
update repositories pops up, enter your user name and password for the
update repositories and click OK. For more
information, see Basic authentication for update repositories in Talend Studio.
The Feature Manager wizard opens and displays a
hierarchical view of all features that are available and not yet installed
based on the license you are using and the type of the project you are
working with. The features are organized by categories.
Note:
If Talend Studio detects an update, the Feature Manager will open and display the
update installation wizard first. You need to install the update and
restart Talend Studio before installing features. For more information, see Updating Talend Studio.
If you have installed the 8.0 R2022-05 Studio monthly update or a later
one provided by Talend, and if the Talend Studio update settings are managed by your administrator from Talend Cloud Management Console, a message is displayed in the update installation wizard to inform
you that the update has been approved in Talend Cloud Management Console by your administrator.
You can click Go to project settings to open the
Activate/Deactivate features view in the
Project Settings dialog box, where you can
activate or deactivate any feature already installed in your current
project.
You can also click Go to libraries to open Installing all external modules in one go, where
you can install all third-party libraries in one go.
-
Select the check boxes corresponding to the features you want to install.
You can click the name of the corresponding feature to display its
details.
-
Click Next.
A summary of all features you have selected and their dependencies are listed
and can be reviewed.
The required disk space for installing the selected
features and their dependencies is displayed under the list. Make sure there
is enough space available on the disk to complete this operation.
-
Click Next.
The Review license agreements view displays.
-
Review all the license text and select I agree to all listed terms
and conditions.
-
Click Install.
When the installation is complete:
- Click Yes, restart to restart your Talend Studio to make the installed features available in the current project.
- Click Not now if you prefer not to restart right
away. The installed features will be available next time you log into
the project.
