Installing An App

Before installing an app, it is important to consider which version of app you will be installing. There are two major ways you can install an app: for production or for development.

For Production

Essentially installing an app in production mode is designed for apps that are live or an app in a development environment, which you are not actively development. It will install the latest release of an app without the client folder or git information (meaning there is no way to push any changes). This is the more streamlined way to update or install an app, and it is required for apps on a live system. For a tutorial on how to install the production form of an app, click here.

For Development

Installing an app in development mode is designed for developers to be able to code changes within an app. It will install all features of the app, including the client folder and git information, up to the most recent commit in your repository (whether it has been released or not).
