# Install the GOV.UK Developer Toolkit

Install the GOV.UK Developer Toolkit application \(sn\_gsm\_uk\_gds\_wdgt\) to deliver citizen-centered digital services and portals without rebuilding them from scratch. This application includes demo data and installs related ServiceNow® Store applications and plugins if they aren’t already installed.

## Before you begin

-   Ensure that the application and all of its associated ServiceNow Store applications have valid ServiceNow entitlements. For more information, see [Get entitlement for a ServiceNow product or application](https://store.servicenow.com/$appstore.do#!/store/help?article=KB0030186).
-   Review the GOV.UK Developer Toolkit [application listing](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/4f50a79aff113210d1e5ffffffffff24/1.0.0) in the ServiceNow Store for information on dependencies, licensing or subscription requirements, and release compatibility.

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Applications** > **All Available Applications** > **All**.

2.  Find the GOV.UK Developer Toolkit application \(sn\_gsm\_uk\_gds\_wdgt\) by using the filter criteria and search bar.

    You can search for the application by its name or ID. If you can't find the application, you might have to request it from the ServiceNow Store.

    In the list next to the **Install** button, the versions available to you are displayed.

3.  Select a version from the list and select **Install**.

    In the Review Installation Details dialog box, any dependencies installed with your application are listed.

4.  If you're prompted, follow the links to the ServiceNow Store to get any additional entitlements for dependencies.

5.  If demo data is available and you want to install it, select the **Load demo data** check box.

    Demo data are the sample records that describe application features for common use cases. Load the demo data when you first install the application on a development or test instance.

6.  Select **Install**.
