How to: Publish and Install an Extension

To make your extension available to users, the package must be published to a specific Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. The extension can be installed for one or more tenants.

To publish or remove an extension

In the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Administration Shell, use the Publish-NAVApp cmdlet. The cmdlet takes as parameters the server you want to install to and the .navx package file that contains the extension. The following example publishes the extension MyExtension to the YourDynamicsNAVServer instance.
```
Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Path MyExtension.navx
```
Publish does more than just update internal tables. It also compiles the components of the extension behind-the-scenes and builds the necessary metadata objects that are used at runtime.

You can get an overview of the published extensions and their state using the Get-NAVAppInfo cmdlet. If no tenants have a specific extension installed, you can completely remove it using the Unpublish-NAVApp cmdlet.
In the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Administration Shell, use the Unpublish-NAVApp cmdlet. The cmdlet takes as parameters the server you want to remove the extension from, and the name of the extension. The following example removes the extension MyExtension from the YourDynamicsNAVServer instance.
```
Unpublish-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Path MyExtension
```

Once an app has been published, it must be made available for any tenant that wishes to use it.

To install an extension

In the , use the Install-NAVApp cmdlet. The following example installs the MyExtension for Tenant1 and Tenant3. In single-tenant deployments, you either specify default as the tenant ID, or you omit the –Tenant parameter.
```
Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance YourDynamicsNAVServer -Name ”My Extension” –Tenant Tenant1, Tenant3
```
Use Get-NAVAppInfo –Tenant command to get an overview of the extensions for that tenant, use the Get-NAVAppTenant cmdlet to get all tenants that have installed a specified extension, and uninstall an extension using the Uninstall-NAVApp cmdlet.

Note

When you uninstall an extension that includes tables and fields, this impacts the database schema and any data that the tables and fields contain. For more information, see Extending Microsoft Dynamics NAV Using Extension Packages.
