Chapter 1. Installing and Using KNIME

In this chapter, we will go through the installation of KNIME, add some useful extensions, customize the settings, and find out how to use it for basic tasks. You will also be familiarized with the terminology of KNIME, so there's no misunderstanding in the later chapters.

As always, it is a good idea to read the manual of the software you get. You will find a short introduction on KNIME in the file, quickstart.pdf, present in the installation folder. The topics we will cover in the chapter are as follows:

  • Installation of KNIME on different platforms
  • Terms used in KNIME
  • Introduction to the KNIME user interface
