Deploy Dynamics 365 government accelerator

You can deploy the Dynamics 365 government accelerator by using one of the following methods:

• Deploy with the Package Deployer: Preferred for government community cloud deployment
• Import the solution manually: Doesn't support sample portal deployment

Prerequisites

Before deploying the government accelerator, make sure to have an environment with Power Apps.

If you plan to deploy the sample portal, make sure your environment has a blank portal provisioned before beginning the deployment. Portal provisioning can take 15 minutes to one hour to complete. For more information about provisioning a blank portal, go to Pre-deployment: Set up a new blank portal.

   • PackageDeployer_GovernmentAcceleratorCDM.zip
   • PackageDeployer_GovernmentServicesApp.zip
