# Use pre-builts

> How to install new pre-built automations on a Platform 6 instance, including connecting the Pre-Builts Catalog to Git for on-premises deployments and manually importing artifact files for cloud deployments.

The [Itential Open Source Pre-Builts repository](https://gitlab.com/itentialopensource/pre-built-automations) is no longer actively maintained. Those pre-builts have been certified up to Platform 2023.2, but can still be imported to Platform 6. We recommend transitioning to [Projects](/itential-platform/studio/projects/overview) for the best experience.

If you migrated from Platform 23.2 or earlier, pre-builts that were installed on your instance before upgrading to Platform 6 remain installed and continue to function. This guide is for users who need to install **new** pre-builts on a Platform 6 instance.

To install a new pre-built, you must manually import a pre-built artifact file. You can't install pre-builts directly from the Pre-Builts Catalog.

## Using pre-builts with Platform Cloud

Cloud customers can view the Pre-Builts Catalog in Platform 6, but you can't install pre-builts directly from it.

To install a new pre-built, manually import the artifact file:

#### Download the artifact file

Download the `artifact.json` file associated with the pre-built.

#### Import the file

Import the file using Admin Essentials.

For the complete procedure, see [Download and import pre-builts manually](/itential-platform/admin-essentials/pre-builts/manually-install-pre-built).
