Objects available for downloading from this site are organized into Collections, which are listed here. Follow a link below to access a collection.
Some items may be in more than one collection.
Essentials and Plugins
Programmability requires one or more of the Python®, R, and .NET plugins. Plugins are specific to the Statistics version and the operating system.
Essentials include a plugin, some useful modules, and some extension commands. Detailed documentation is installed along with the plug-ins, but you can get the pdf versions for R and Python separately here for Version 20 and here for Version 21. The V21 link will show a long list of items. Page through until you find the right item, considering the platform and bitness.
Python and .NET Essentials
- Important: Support for the .NET Plugin is deprecated starting with IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The .NET Plugin is supported only in versions prior to version 25. For version 25, and all subsequent releases (including Subscription), you can build the .NET Plugin functionality via the Programmability SDK package. IBM no longer provides the .NET Plugin installer or corresponding support.
- Note that for the .NET Plugin for IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25, we do not ship installers and user need to follow the instruction in SDKs to configure it.
- The Python Essentials for Statistics versions 22 and later are fully integrated with the main Statistics installation. They are no longer a separate item. You can install additional extension commands or update ones already installed from the Utilities menu within Statistics.
- The .NET plugins for versions 22 and later (Windows only) remains a separate download from the site where you download Statistics. It is also included on the physical media.
