App Installation

This section covers the installation of the COSMO Advanced Manufacturing Pack app. Typically an installation is only performed once by an administrator and is not executed by the user. The installation differs for SaaS and On-Premises (OnPrem) environments.

To install in SaaS environment

In SaaS environments, the app can be installed from Microsoft AppSource either from Business Central or directly from the Microsoft site. All dependencies are installed automatically.

AppSource

Depending on the current Microsoft upgrade policy, you may not have the most current version of the app. To upgrade to the most current version, go to the Dynamics 365 Business Central admin center and perform the app upgrade for your environment.

Business Central

  1. In Business Central, choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell me feature icon, enter Microsoft AppSource apps, and then choose the related link.
  2. If a message opens asking to allow the request to an external service, choose whether to Allow Always or Allow Once and then choose the OK button.
  3. In the Microsoft AppSource Apps page, search for and choose COSMO Advanced Manufacturing Pack.
  4. In the App Overview page, choose the Install From AppSource action.
  5. A new tab opens to the Microsoft AppSource site for COSMO Advanced Manufacturing Pack. Choose the Free trial button and you will be forwarded to a page where you must log in with your Business Central user credentials.
  6. If applicable, you will need to select the environment to install the app to.
  7. Follow the wizard instructions to complete the installation.
  8. After installation, you can return to the Business Central home page and license/register the app.

To install in on-premises environment

To install the COSMO Advanced Manufacturing Pack app and its requirements in an on-premises environment, you can find the app files in the COSMO CONSULT Solution Portal. Check the technical specifications of each version to find the minimum dependent version of Business Central and the Base Application. For customer installations without a Business Central developer license, you must create and install a runtime package of the app (Microsoft Documentation).

Besides the Business Central Base Application, the app depends on additional apps that must be installed in the correct order first.
