App Installation

This section covers the installation of the COSMO Discrete Manufacturing Pack. Typically an installation is only performed once and is not executed by the user but an administrator. The installation differs from SaaS and On-Premises (OnPrem) environment.

To install in SaaS environment

To install in on-premises environment

To install the COSMO Discrete Manufacturing Pack app and its requirements in an on-premises environment, you can find the compiler packages of the apps 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 need to create and install a runtime package of the app (Microsoft Documentation).

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