    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.

8. Click the Import button to install the pre-built and its associated artifacts. Once the pre-built is installed, it will be loaded into IAP.

Troubleshooting

If IAP determines that 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.
