# Installations

> Ensure users always install the latest version of an app.

> **In addition to patching apps, Zappl can install applications. This feature is one of the Command Line Options available with the Zappl agent, making it easy to integrate into Jamf Pro policies using the Deploy Software Script.**

Traditionally, to deploy applications via Jamf Pro, administrators have to manually package the app installer and deploy it through a Jamf Pro policy. This approach quickly leads to outdated installers, requiring frequent updates to maintain compliance.

By replacing existing app deployment policies in Jamf Pro with Zappl policies, this issue is resolved. Zappl ensures the installation of the latest version of the app, eliminating the need for manual updates.

#### Creating an App Install Policy

    In Jamf Pro, navigate to *Computers > Policies* and click **New**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **General** payload, configure a suitable **Display Name**, **Category**, **Trigger** and **Execution Frequency**.
