# Install and initialize Product Engineering - On premises

## Install Product Engineering apps on-premises

1. Make sure a Dynamics 365 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation is up and running, including a database. The example below shows how to create a CRONUS demo environment.
  - For example: [Download Update 21.5 for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Release Wave 2 from Official Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=105029)
  - Install your partner license, replacing the standard **Cronus.bclicense**.
2. Download the latest Quality Management package from:
  - [Knowledge Downloads - Support - STAEDEAN](https://support.staedean.com/ticsm?id=knowledge_downloads)
3. Open PowerShell ISE and run as **Administrator**.
  - Import the Quality Management scripts in PowerShell and run the following sections.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The script below is based on Quality Management as an example. Replace the app names where applicable: Engineering Change Management, TI-Lifecycle Base.

### Install the D365 BC Modules:

```plaintext
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.psm1"
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1"
```

### Update the variables (replace parts as required):

```plaintext
$apps = "TI-Common,Quality Management"
$serverInstance = 'BC215'
$buildArtifactFolder = "C:\IEMOnPrem\21.4.84356.0"
$appsSplit = $apps.Split(',')
$i = $appsSplit.Count
```

### When updating an existing installation, first uninstall the extensions:

```plaintext
Do{
    $i--
  Write-Host"Uninstall & Unpublish $($appsSplit[$i])"$installedAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo-ServerInstance$serverInstance|Where-Object { $_.Name -eq$appsSplit[$i] }|%{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}
  Uninstall-NAVApp-Name$appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance$serverInstance-Version$installedAppVersionUnpublish-NAVApp-Name$appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance$serverInstance-Version$installedAppVersion
}
Until($i-eq0)
```

### Install or update the extensions:

```plaintext
$apps.Split(',') | ForEach-Object {
    $appName = $_
    $AllAppFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $buildArtifactFolder -Filter "*.app" -Recurse
    foreach ($AllAppFile in $AllAppFiles) {if ((Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $AllAppFile.FullName |Select-Object -expand Name) -eq $appName){$appFileName = $AllAppFile.FullName} }
    Write-Host "Install $_ ($appFileName)"
    $newAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $appFileName|%{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}

    # for initial install use Install-NAVApp, for updates use Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade
    Publish-NAVApp -Path $appFileName -ServerInstance $serverInstance
    Sync-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
    #Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
    Install-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
}
```

### Result:

Once completed, the following entries appear in **Extension Management** (based on the installed apps):

| Name | Publisher | Version | Is Installed | Published As |
