Installing an application

After the EDA software is installed, EDA Store has access to the catalogs and registries. All apps available for installation are displayed in the EDA Store.

Use this procedure to install an app or execute a dry run of the app installation. The steps for the installation and dry-run installation are similar. An app installation dry run downloads the application image and applies the app manifest as a dry run transaction; this allows users to review the transaction result before proceeding with the app installation.

You can monitor the progress of the installation on the UI or the API. If at any time the installation fails, the previous steps are rolled back, where possible.

  1. From the System Administration navigation panel, select Store.
  2. Click the app that you want to install.
  3. In the app page that displays, you can install the app or a do a dry-run of the app installation:
    • To install the app, click Install.
    • To do a dry-run, click the drop-down list and select Dry-run
  4. If the app is available from more than one catalog, a form displays from which you can select the catalog. After making a selection, click Install.
    The flow of the installation varies depending on whether the app has requirements or associated settings:
    • If the app has no outstanding requirements or associated settings, the system displays a Summary page with installation details and the procedure is complete.
    • If the app has associated settings, the screens that display are shown in step 5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
    • If the app has requirements, the screens that display are shown in step 6. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
  5. If the app has settings associated with it, the system displays an Installation Overview page that describes the installation process for this app.
    1. From the Installation Overview page, click Next.
