Install an app from a listing¶

Workflow for installing an app from a listing¶

To find and install a listing for an app:

1. Set up the privileges required to install a listing.

2. Install the listing.

   • If you are installing a privately shared listing, refer to Install an app from a privately shared listing

   • If you are installing a listing shared on the Snowflake Marketplace, refer to Working with Snowflake Marketplace listings for an app.

3. View the installed listing.

4. See Allow access to a consumer account for information on tasks related to managing an app. See Set up event tracing for an app for information on setting up event sharing.

Set up required privileges¶

To access a listing, you must use the ACCOUNTADMIN role or another role with the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges.

After an app is installed, the app owner can grant access to the app using application roles. See Grant application roles to account roles for details.

Installing multiple instances of an app¶

Providers can configure an app so that multiple instances of an app can be installed at the same time.

If an app is configured to allow multiple installs, consumers can install additional instances after installing the app from a private listing or from the Snowflake Marketplace.

If multiple instances are enabled for an app, you can install a maximum of 10 instances in your account.

To install a new instance of an app, perform the following tasks:

1. Sign in to Snowsight.

2. In the navigation menu, select Data Products » Apps.

3. Select the app of which you want to install another instance.

   If multiple instances of the app are already installed, Snowsight displays a panel showing all of the instances of the app.

4. Select Add instance

   Caution

   Add instance only appears if the provider has configured the app to allow multiple instances.

5. Enter a name for the instance, then select the warehouse to use for this instance.

6. Select Get.

   The app installs and Snowflake sends a notification email to the app admin.

7. Select Done to complete the installation.

After installing the app instance, you can set up event tracing for an app, configure privileges for the app, and perform other management tasks.
