Install the Canvas App

Uploading the packaged canvas app creates the installation link. You can then use this link to install the canvas app in another organization. Beta packages can only be installed in sandbox or Developer Edition organizations, otherwise, you’ll receive an error.

  1. Open a browser and enter the canvas app installation URL in the browser address bar. If you’re in the process of developing your canvas app, be sure to log out of your development organization before you install the app.

    The installation URL looks something like: https://login.instance.salesforce.com/services/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04eU0000000AWNA.

  2. When prompted, enter your login credentials for the organization in which you’re installing the package.
  3. The Package Installation Details page appears. In the Package Components list, you should see the Hello World canvas app. Click Continue.
  4. Click Next and then click Install.
After the package installation completes successfully, you’ll receive an email notification.
