Installing a New Package on Your Instance

Packages can be installed directly from the Admin tab, from the Marketplace or using the nuxeoctl script. Packages can be addons bringing new features or hotfixes providing corrections or small improvements. Some Nuxeo Packages are totally public, not requiring a Nuxeo Online Services account to install them. Others can only be installed on instances registered on Nuxeo Online Services.

Installing a Package Using the nuxeoctl Script

The instructions below provide the steps to follow to install a package using the nuxeoctl script, without detailed explanation about nuxeoctl. For an overview of this script, please read the page nuxeoctl and Control Panel Usage.

Installing a Package from the Admin Tab

The Admin tab includes a section called Update Center from which you can easily install hotfixes, updates, addons and your customizations. The Update Center features a Packages from Nuxeo Marketplace tab that shows the list of packages available from the Marketplace and allowing you to install these packages directly from your Nuxeo application.

To install a package from the Admin tab:

As an administrator (Administrator/Administrator by default), in the Admin tab, click on the Update Center left tab.
Click on the Packages from Nuxeo Marketplace. The list of available packages, including hotfixes and addons, is displayed. By default, only packages compatible with your version of the Nuxeo Platform are listed.
Optionally, filter the list of packages:
- Uncheck the Show only packages compatible with my distribution box if you want to see all available packages;
- Select a type of package in the drop down list if you want to narrow the list to a package type (addon, hotfix);
- Check the Show only new packages box if you want to hide already downloaded packages from the list.
Click on the Download link of the package you want to install. A download in progress page is displayed while the package is being downloaded.

When the download is finished, the list of packages is displayed again and the downloaded package has an Install link.

The package is also available from the Local packages tab of the Update Center.
Click on the Install link to start the installation.
Start the installation by clicking on the Start button.

  Required packages are downloaded.
2. Click on the Installation of package and dependencies button.
  
  A page detailing the packages to be installed is displayed.
3. Click on the Confirm install button at the bottom of the page.
