Slicer Extensions
General Information
Slicer's Extensions Management Wizard is an interface to additional modules that can be discovered, loaded or unloaded from Slicer. This interface can be used to add functionality to Slicer, or to uninstall modules you no longer need.
- This mechanism allows contributors and software developers to post their own Slicer extensions and have them compiled against the "official" versions of Slicer.
- Users can browse these contributed extensions and install them on their own versions of Slicer.
Note: We are currently using NITRC as a repository for contributed extensions. As a general rule, we do not test them ourselves, it is the downloaders' job to ensure that they do what they want them to do.

Module Description
To add extension modules to an installed binary of slicer:
- Use the View->Extension Manager menu option:
or select the Extension Manager shortcut in the toolbar:
- The dialog will open initialized with the URL to the extensions that have been compiled to match your binary of slicer.
- Note installing extensions from a different repository URL is likely to be unstable due to platform and software version differences.
- You can select a local install directory for your downloaded extensions (be sure to choose a directory with enough free space).
- Select the extensions you wish to install and click to download them. Installed extensions will be available when you restart slicer.
- To turn modules on or off, you can use the Module Settings page of the View->Application Settings dialog:
