Unable to install neo4j-graph-data-science-1.8.6 to Desktop 1.4.13 dbms Neoj4 4.4.3

Hi I installed Neo4j desktop 1.4.13 under Windows 10 successfully. Then I downloaded and unzipped neo4j-graph-data-science-1.8.6-standalone.zip to get the jar file. When trying to drag the jar file into the "Install" area under "Graph Apps" tab, I got the following error: "An error occurred while processing Graph Application Neo4j Graph Data Science 1.8.6. See thelogs for details (Developer menu in menu bar).

I believe the Graph Data Science add-ins are not considered Graph Apps but rather plug-ins. If you open the Desktop, find the database of interest, click on the 3 ellipsis (options) dots. On the right you'll see a plug-ins tab. You can install GDS from there.

Thank you so much for your reply. I tried Neo4j Desktop 1.4.13 ( and 1.4.14) and 1.3.4. In 1.3.4, it is true that the plug-in tab will appear which clicking the 3 ellipsis dots, then one can use the tab to install GDS. In 1.4.13 (and 1.4.14), one should click on the name of the database of interest in order to bring up the plug-in tab. Clicking on the 3 ellipsis dots brings up the followings. You are absolutely right that GDS should be a plug-in. Again, thank you very much for your hints.
