Think of the ExtensionsIndex as a repository containing a list of extension description files (*.s4ext) used by the Slicer extensions build system to build, test, package and upload extensions on an extensions server.
Once uploaded on an extensions server, within Slicer, extensions can be installed using the extensions manager.
An extensions catalog provides Slicer users with a convenient way to access the extensions previously uploaded on the extensions server:
- from within Slicer with the help of the extensions manager
- from the web: http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/slicerappstore
The following diagram depicts how extensions catalog, extensions server, CDash and the slicer factory interact.
