Installation of product extensions

Installation of bundles

Extensions are installed in map.apps Manager. The corresponding bundles (JAR or zip file) are uploaded in the bundles menu. After installation, the bundles are available for use in apps.

Pay attention to the installation instructions of the respective extension. In some cases it is necessary to install additional server components.
If an extension requires the bundles of map.apps line 3, it is necessary to install the map.apps line 3 bundles manually. The installation is described in section Installation of map.apps line 3 bundles.
