If you want to update your plugin installation yourself without reinstalling YASARA, you can update the plugin yourself.

1. Locate the installation directory of YASARA on your computer.

2. Use your file explorer to navigate to this directory.

3. Open the plg directory.

4. Download the latest stable plugin from our website.

5. Open the 3dm_plugin_yasara_stable.zip archive.

6. Open the plg directory inside the archive.

7. Select the contents of the archive (this should be 1 file and 1 folder)

8. Copy the selected files into the plg directory of YASARA. If your computer asks you whether you wish to overwrite files, answer Yes.

9. Restart YASARA

Your YASARA installation is now updated to the latest stable version.

...

Currently, this procedure will need to be run every time the plugin is updated, as the default configuration is included as part of the plugin. It is, however, rather simple to perform.

1. Open your favorite plain-text editor (notepad, gedit, kate...)

2. Find the configuration file. It is located here: 
   <YASARA Directory>/plg/bio-prodict/config.json

3. It is recommended that you make a backup of the config.json file, so you can quickly and easily revert to the previous settings.

4. Open the config.json file with your editor.

5. Replace each of the URLs in this file with the proper URL for your server.

6. Save the file and exit your text editor.

7. Restart YASARA to have the settings take effect.

If you have entered a wrong URL, YASARA will alert you of that fact when you start using the 3DM plugin.

...

This method will only need to be applied once, but is more involved. You may need experience with the command line for your operating system.

1. Find the configuration file. It is located here: 
   <YASARA Directory>/plg/bio-prodict/config.json

2. Copy this file to another directory where you have write and read access.

3. Using your favorite plain-text editor, replace the urls in the copied file with the proper urls for your server.

4. Save the file and exit your editor.

5. When starting YASARA from here on out, start it with the THREEDM_PLUGIN_CONFIG environment variable pointing to the location of the copied file you created.

6. • For Linux and Mac OSX, this involves launching YASARA from the terminal like this:THREEDM_PLUGIN_CONFIG=/path/to/config.json <YASARA Directory>/yasara

   • In Windows, you can either set a System Environment Variable, or create a shortcut to the YASARA executable with the THREEDM_PLUGIN_CONFIG variable set. You can also use PowerShell to launch YASARA with the variable.

If you have entered a wrong URL, YASARA will alert you of that fact when you start using the 3DM plugin.

...

You may also encounter an error that starts with "Unable to retrieve version information." If your internet is otherwise functional, it is likely that your company uses a self signed certificate to encrypt traffic inside the network. You must disable SSL verification for YASARA 3DM to work. For security reasons we do not recommend this recourse for computers that may move outside the company network.
