# Installation and Upgrade

## Installation and Upgrade

`QuantitativeReporting` should be available as an extension in the nightly version of 3D Slicer, starting Nov 24, 2016. We always suggest that you use the latest (nightly) version of the software when you try it for the first time.

Download the latest nightly release for your platform from <http://download.slicer.org>.

**Do NOT use installers tagged as "Stable Release"!**

Once installation of `QuantitativeReporting` and dependencies is completed, you will need to restart Slicer application to access the module.

If installation was successful, you should be able to see `QuantitativeReporting` module in the Slicer module list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://qiicr.gitbook.io/quantitativereporting-guide/user-guide/installation-and-upgrade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
