Why does RapidMiner Studio fail to update
Problem:
RapidMiner Studio needs correct privileges to access the RapidMiner Studio installation folder and it must have been started with one of the GUI scripts or the .exe file.
Solution:
To correctly update RapidMiner Studio, follow these steps:
On Windows:
-
Start RapidMiner Studio via the RapidMiner Studio.exe and download the update.
-
Restart RapidMiner Studio when prompted to do so.
-
Grant admin privileges to the updater when prompted
If using the RapidMiner-Studio.bat instead, make sure RapidMiner Studio is not installed in a protected location like C:\Program Files, otherwise the update will always fail.
On Linux:
-
Start RapidMiner Studio via the RapidMiner-Studio.sh script and download the update.
-
Restart RapidMiner Studio when prompted to do so.
On Mac:
-
Start RapidMiner Studio via double-clicking “RapidMiner Studio.app” and download the update.
-
Restart RapidMiner Studio when prompted to do so.
Note that the update will
never
work when launcher RapidMiner Studio via the rapidminer.jar or launcher.jar directly.
