Installing Pre-Builts Manually

The Itential Open Source Pre-Builts repository is no longer actively maintained. Those Pre-Builts have been certified up to IAP 2023.2, but can still be imported to Platform 6. We recommend transitioning to Projects for the best experience.

Manual Install Process

Follow these steps to install Itential Pre-built automations manually when your Internet connection is down and not available from Itential Platform.

Download Artifact JSON File

Navigate to the Pre-builts collection at Itential Automation MarketPlace.
Use the slider to filter by Automation.
Select the desired pre-built automation to display a description, technical details and other related information.
From the pre-built, click View Repository in the left navigation menu to be redirected to where the pre-built is located in the Itential Opensource repository. For demonstration purposes, Netbox IP Address Management was randomly selected (Figure 2) as an example.

 Note: There may be additional dependencies that are required. The ReadMe file for the pre-built will explain if there are additional prerequisites or requirements for the install.
Click the Import button to install the pre-built and its associated artifacts. Once the pre-built is installed, it will be loaded into Itential Platform.

Troubleshooting

If Itential Platform determines a dependency is not installed, you will see a warning banner and most likely will not be allowed to install the pre-built until the prerequisite is satisfied.
