To deploy an ArcGIS Solution, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
2. Click the Apps button in the header of the site and click Solutions.

4. Hover over a solution and click View Details to learn more about it. When you decide to deploy a solution, click Get Now or Deploy Now.

   Tip:

   You can deploy one or more solutions at the same time. Each solution is accessible on the My Solutions tab when it finishes deploying.

5. If prompted, search for a spatial reference by name or well-known ID (WKID). Click the spatial reference and click Deploy.

The ArcGIS Solutions app creates all the ArcGIS items included with the solution and adds them to a new folder in your content. The app also creates a solution item that summarizes the content included and shows the relationship between items. The solution item will have an ArcGIS Solution badge signifying that it is an Esri supported solution.
