# Install a Vitextra Product in SharePoint Online

Step-by-step guide to installing a Vitextra SPFx product in SharePoint Online — prerequisites and permissions, uploading the .sppkg to the App Catalog, and approving API access.

## Introduction

Vitextra offers a range of SPFx-based products that extend the functionality of ::SharePoint Online:: and ::Microsoft Teams::.

This article is a step-by-step guide to installing a Vitextra product in your SharePoint Online environment, including the prerequisites and permissions you need for a smooth installation.

## Prerequisites

### Environment

Vitextra ::SPFx::-based products can be installed only on Microsoft 365 (SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams).

❗ **Important**  
Vitextra SPFx products cannot be installed on SharePoint on-premises 2016/2019.

### Required Permissions

**Tenant Admin Access**

You must have the SharePoint Administrator role in your Microsoft 365 tenant. This role gives you the authority to manage the ::App Catalog:: and install apps across the SharePoint Online environment.

**App Catalog Permissions**

Within the App Catalog site, you need *Full Control* permissions. This lets you upload, manage, and delete apps, including SPFx packages.

**User Permissions for End Users**

While not directly related to installation, make sure the users who will use the SPFx web parts have permission to access the site and its content. This usually means at least Read permission on the site where the web part is deployed.

### Installation Package

First, download the product package. You can get it from the [Vitextra Download Center](https://vitextra.com/en/downloads) or ::Microsoft AppSource::.

💡 **Tip**  
The Download Center often provides the latest updates and features more quickly than AppSource.

Download the product's ZIP file (*.zip) and extract it somewhere on your computer.

4\. Click the **Upload** button and select the extracted .sppkg file.

❗ **Important**  
Make sure to extract the .zip archive before uploading. You must upload the extracted .sppkg file, not the .zip file itself.

5\. After you upload the package, SharePoint Online prompts you to trust the solution — a security measure to ensure the app meets your organization's compliance standards. Click **Install** to confirm the installation.

## API Access

To grant the installed app the permissions it needs to access the API, go to **Pending** under the **App Requests** heading in the left navigation menu.

There, you can approve any API access requests generated during installation.
