Download and import pre-builts manually

The Itential Open Source Pre-Builts repository is no longer actively maintained.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 for the best experience.

Follow these steps to manually install Itential pre-built automations when your internet connection is down and the pre-builts are not available from Itential Platform.

Download artifact JSON file

Navigate to the automation marketplace

Navigate to the pre-builts collection at Itential Automation MarketPlace.

Filter and select a pre-built

Use the slider to filter by Automation. Select the desired pre-built automation to display a description, technical details, and other related information.

Open the repository

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 open source repository.

Download the artifact file

From the pre-built in the repository, click artifact.json to open the file, then click the download icon to save the file to your local drive.

Import into Admin Essentials

Open the Import dialog

Navigate to Admin Essentials within Itential Platform and click the import icon in the top toolbar to open the Import dialog.

Select Pre-built

Select Pre-built in the dropdown list to open the Import modal.

Browse to the file

Select Click to browse and navigate to the artifact.json file saved to your local drive.

Review and import

Select the artifact.json file you downloaded. A preview of the pre-built ReadMe will display.

Note: There may be additional dependencies 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.

If you experience any issues with an Itential pre-built, contact the Pre-builts Team by opening a service desk ticket using the Customer Portal.
