How to Fix Extension Library Download Failure

What should I do if I can't download the extension library? How do I install the extension library offline?

Problem Description

  • When adding an extension library, the system displays the message "Network connection failed. Please check your network settings and try again," preventing the extension library from downloading and installing properly.
  • Extension libraries cannot be downloaded properly in server rooms or in environments without internet access.

Analysis of Causes

  • Mind+ 2.x adopts a distribution model that separates the software from the extension libraries to reduce the size of software update packages; extension libraries can be updated independently and added as needed.
  • The extension library requires an internet connection to retrieve the list of extension packages and resources when used for the first time; the initial download cannot be completed in an offline environment.
  • Some extension libraries also require access to third-party dependency sources during installation or runtime, which may result in loading failures when network access is restricted.

Solution

1. Check the network status

  • Check whether your computer is connected to the Internet.
  • Try opening your browser and visiting another website to verify your internet connection.
  • WiFi Make sure you have a stable internet connection and avoid using unreliable Wi-Fi.

2. Check Domain Access Permissions

Some school or corporate networks may restrict access to the following domains, preventing the extension library from being downloaded:

Mind+ Official Domain:

*.mindplus.top

*.mindplus.cc

*.dfrobot.com.cn

Third-party Python library sources:

pypi.org

pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn

mirrors.aliyun.com

If this occurs, please contact your school or company’s network administrator to request that access to these domains be enabled.

3. Deploying Using an Offline Resource Package

  • For environments without internet access or server rooms, we provide an offline installer and an extension library resource package (updated periodically).
  • Download links for the offline installer and extension library resources: Click to download.
  • After downloading, please review the PDF tutorial included in the compressed file (e.g., “Mind+V2.X Extension Library Offline Installation Guide.pdf”) before proceeding.

Important Reminder: Please ensure that your extension library resource packages and Mind+ version are up to date;
