Downloading and installing a pattern

Use the Patterns Gallery to select, download, and install a pattern. Then, create a pattern instance to get the artifacts to use for your solution.

1. From the Welcome page, click the Patterns Gallery tile.
   Filter by category, you can also search by tags, which appear when you click in the search field.
2. Click your chosen pattern.
   The pattern page opens.
3. Click Start to download and install the pattern.
   The pattern is installed and the Pattern Specification tab opens. You can install another pattern by clicking the Return to the gallery or continue with the current pattern.
4. Enter the name appropriate to the instance that you’re creating and click OK.
   You cannot use the following names:

   • The name of an existing project in the current workspace.
   • On Windows only, MS-DOS device driver names. For more information, see the article on the Microsoft support site: MS-DOS device driver names cannot be used as file names.
5. On the Pattern Parameters page that opens, add your parameters in fields that are provided and click Next until you get to the final page.
   The green tick confirms that all the mandatory configuration is complete.
6. Click Generate and your instance is created.
   You are taken to the Application Development view and your pattern instance and application folders with created resources are shown.

   If you created other pattern instances previously and they are not showing, click the last icon with the vertical three dots on the Application Development view toolbar, then click Deselect working set to see all your patterns and application folders.

   You can use the Working set options to focus on one pattern you are working with.

   You can now use the resources in your application folder to deploy your solution.

7. Optional: Alternatively, start from the Patterns Explorer view to create a pattern instance. For more information, see Create a pattern instance.
