# Install and uninstall a pre-built

> How to install and uninstall pre-built automations in Admin Essentials, including setting up the Itential pre-builts group for first-time installations.

The [Itential Open Source Pre-Builts repository](https://gitlab.com/itentialopensource/pre-built-automations) is no longer actively maintained. Those pre-builts have been certified up to Platform 2023.2, but can still be imported to Platform 6. We recommend transitioning to [Projects](/itential-platform/studio/projects/overview) for the best experience.

Before installing a pre-built from the catalog, verify that a pre-built repository is connected in Admin Essentials:

* **Platform 6 (on-premises):** the Pre-Builts Catalog must be connected to a Git repository before it will show any pre-builts to browse or install. See [Use pre-builts in Platform 6](/itential-platform/admin-essentials/pre-builts/use-pre-builts) to configure the connection.
* **Platform 2023.2 and earlier:** the `@itentialopensource` repository is connected by default on startup, so no additional setup is required unless you want to connect a different repository.

Once a repository is connected, open **Admin Essentials**, select **Pre-Builts** in the sidebar, click **Browse**, then select a pre-built and click **Install**. If the pre-built contains components that already exist on your system, you'll be prompted to overwrite that content or cancel without overwriting.

For the complete Platform 6 walkthrough, including searching the catalog and reviewing a pre-built's details before installing, see [Use pre-builts](/itential-platform/admin-essentials/pre-builts/use-pre-builts).

If you're installing your first pre-built, you'll also need to activate the Itential pre-builts group:

#### Navigate to Groups

After installing the pre-built, go to **Authorization** → **Groups**.

#### View inactive groups

Click **View List**, then select **Show Inactive**. The **Itential Pre-Builts** group should appear.

#### Activate the group

Click **Edit Group** under **Actions**, uncheck **Inactive**, and click **Save**.

#### Assign the group to a user

In the sidebar, select **Users** and click the user you wish to apply the **Itential pre-built** group to.

#### Add the group

Click **Groups** on the main view of the page, select **Itential pre-builts**, and click **Save**.

## Uninstall a pre-built

#### Open Admin Essentials

Open **Admin Essentials** from the Home page or the Applications menu.

#### Open pre-builts

Select the **pre-builts** dropdown in the sidebar (left side of the screen).

#### Select the repository

Click the appropriate pre-built repository (e.g., **@itentialopensource**) dropdown in the sidebar.

#### Select the pre-built

A list of installed pre-builts will display. Select the pre-built you wish to uninstall.

#### Uninstall

On the **Details View** for the selected pre-built, click **Uninstall**.
