Install a Package or App to Complete a Trailhead Challenge

Some challenges in Trailhead require you to install an unmanaged package or an app from AppExchange. If you have trouble installing the package or app, follow these steps.

Pro tip: If you find yourself needing assistance with Hands-on Challenges, check out the Enhanced Trailhead Hands-on Challenge Support Experience to help you find just what you are looking for easier and faster than ever.

First things first: Launch your Trailhead Playground by going to any hands-on challenge, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking Launch. If you see a tab in your org labeled Install a Package, fantastic! Follow the steps in the Your Playground Has the Playground Starter App section below.

If not, click to launch the App Launcher, then click Playground Starter and keep reading. If you don’t see the Playground Starter app, go ahead and skip to the Your Playground Doesn’t Have the Playground Starter App section.

Your Playground Has the Playground Starter App

If your playground has the Playground Starter app, follow these steps to install an app or package.
1. Find the package ID starting with 04t and copy it to your clipboard.
2. Click the Install a Package tab.
3. Paste the package ID into the field.
4. Click Install.

5. Select Install for Admins Only then click Install.


6. If you see a pop-up asking you to approve third-party access, select Yes, grant access to these third-party websites and click Continue.

When your package or app is finished installing, you see a confirmation page and get an email to the address associated with your playground.

Your Playground Doesn’t Have the Playground Starter App

First, launch your Trailhead Playground and get your username and password.
1. Go to any unit with a hands-on challenge, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Launch to open your Trailhead Playground.
2. In your playground, click and select Setup.
3. Enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users.
4. Check the box next to your name. Take note of your username.
5. Click Reset Password(s) and then OK. This step sends an email to the address associated with your username. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder.
6. Click the link in the email.
7. Enter a new password and confirm it.

If you’re having trouble getting your credentials, see Find the username and password for your Trailhead Playground .

Next, check whether you’re installing an AppExchange app or a package. Take a look at the installation link provided. If it starts with appexchange.salesforce.com, then you’re installing an AppExchange app, and you can skip to the next section, Install an AppExchange App. If not, it’s a package and you can follow the steps below.
 
  1. Open a new private browsing window. In Chrome, click File | New Incognito Window. In Safari, click File | New Private Window. This ensures that you install the package in your playground, and not any other org you have open. We wouldn’t want you to accidentally install a package or app in your production org.
  2. Copy the package installation link and paste it into your private browsing window.
  3. You’ll be prompted to log in. Enter the username and password of your Trailhead Playground and click Log In.
  4. Select Install for Admins Only, then click Install.
  5. If you see a pop-up asking you to approve third-party access, select Yes, grant access to these third-party websites and click Continue.
When your package or app is finished installing, you’ll see a confirmation page and get an email to the address associated with your playground.
