Install and uninstall a pre-built

The Itential Open Source Pre-Builts repository is no longer actively maintained.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 for the best experience.

Before installing a pre-built from the catalog, verify that a pre-built repository is connected in Admin Essentials:

  • Platform 6 (on-premises): the Pre-Builts Catalog must be connected to a Git repository before it will show any pre-builts to browse or install. See Use pre-builts in Platform 6 to configure the connection.
  • Platform 2023.2 and earlier: the @itentialopensource repository is connected by default on startup, so no additional setup is required unless you want to connect a different repository.

Once a repository is connected, open Admin Essentials, select Pre-Builts in the sidebar, click Browse, then select a pre-built and click Install. If the pre-built contains components that already exist on your system, you’ll be prompted to overwrite that content or cancel without overwriting.

For the complete Platform 6 walkthrough, including searching the catalog and reviewing a pre-built’s details before installing, see Use pre-builts.

If you’re installing your first pre-built, you’ll also need to activate the Itential pre-builts group:
