Xano - Marketplace: How to Install an Extension

Hey there! In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of installing and configuring extensions from Xano's marketplace. We'll use the Google OAuth extension as an example, but the steps are similar for any extension you choose to install.

Step 1: Install the Extension

1. Navigate to the extension page in the Xano marketplace. In our case, we'll go to the Google OAuth extension page.
2. On the right side of the page, you'll see a green "Install Extension" button. Click on it.
3. A blue window will pop up with instructions specific to the extension you're installing. Read these instructions carefully, as some extensions may require additional steps before installation.

For the Google OAuth extension, we need to merge it with one of our database tables. Since this extension is for user login and sign-up, we'll merge it with the "user" table.

4. Click on the dropdown menu and select the appropriate table (in our case, the "user" table).
5. Click "Install" to complete the installation process.

Step 2: Configure the Extension

After installing the extension, you'll often need to configure it further. The instructions for this will be displayed in the blue window, or you can click the "Done" button, and the instructions will appear in the main interface.

1. Read the configuration instructions carefully, as they are unique to each extension.
2. Look for the blue "Configure" button and click on it. This will reopen the blue window with the configuration instructions.
3. Follow the step-by-step instructions to enter the relevant information required for the extension to function correctly.

For example, with the Google OAuth extension, you may need to provide your Google API credentials and other settings.

Step 3: Test and Use the Extension

Once you've completed the configuration steps, the extension should be ready to use within your Xano project. Test it out and ensure it's working as expected.

Remember, the installation and configuration process may vary slightly for different extensions, so always read the instructions carefully and follow them diligently.

That's it! You've successfully installed and configured an extension from the Xano marketplace. Explore the various extensions available and enhance your application's functionality with just a few clicks.

Happy no-coding!
