Install a Package
Install second-generation packages using the CLI or the Salesforce browser. You can
install package versions in a scratch org, sandbox org, DE org, or production org, depending on
the package type.
-
User Profiles for Installed Packages
When you install a package with the CLI, all users are given full access to all the metadata contained in the package. We acknowledge that this experience is not optimal, and plan on improving it in the future. -
Install Packages with the CLI
If you’re working with the Salesforce CLI, you can use the force:package:install command to install packages in a scratch org or target subscriber org. -
Install Packages from a URL
Install second-generation packages from the CLI or from a browser, similar to how you install classic managed packages. -
Upgrade a Package Version
Are you introducing metadata changes to an existing package? You can use the CLI to upgrade one package version to another. -
Sample Script for Installing Packages with Dependencies
Use this sample script as a basis to create your own script to install packages with dependencies. This script contains a query that finds dependent packages and installs them in the correct dependency order.
