# Installing Providers

> Install providers from the store into your workspace

Installing a provider from the store deploys it into your workspace and makes all its resource types available.

## Prerequisites

* Authenticated with the platform: `pragma auth login`
* Active workspace context: `pragma config current-context`

## Install via CLI

### Basic Install

Install the latest version with default settings:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma store install qdrant
```

```
Provider: Qdrant (qdrant)
Version:  1.2.0
Tier:     standard

Install this provider? [y/N]: y
Installed: qdrant v1.2.0
```

### Install a Specific Version

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma store install qdrant 1.1.0
```

### Choose a Resource Tier

The resource tier controls how much compute is allocated to the provider's deployment. Choose based on your workload:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
# Minimal resources for testing
pragma store install qdrant --tier free

# Balanced for production (default)
pragma store install qdrant --tier standard

# Maximum resources for high-throughput workloads
pragma store install qdrant --tier performance
```

See [Resource Tiers](/store/resource-tiers) for details on what each tier provides.

### Set an Upgrade Policy

Control how future updates are applied:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
# Manual upgrades (default) — you control when to upgrade
pragma store install qdrant --upgrade-policy manual

# Auto upgrades — new versions deploy automatically
pragma store install redis --upgrade-policy auto
```

See [Upgrade Policies](/store/upgrade-policies) for details.

### Skip Confirmation

Use `-y` to skip the confirmation prompt (useful in scripts):

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma store install qdrant -y
```

### Full Example

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma store install redis 1.0.0 --tier performance --upgrade-policy auto -y
```

## Install via Web UI

In the Pragmatiks dashboard, navigate to the **Store** tab, select a provider, choose your resource tier and upgrade policy, and click **Install**.

## Verify Installation

After installing, verify the provider is available:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
# List all installed providers
pragma store installed
```

```
Provider   Version   Tier       Upgrade Policy   Installed At          Upgrade Available
qdrant     1.2.0     standard   manual           2026-02-20 14:30:00   -
redis      1.0.0     performance auto            2026-02-20 14:35:00   -
```

You can also verify that the provider's resource types are available:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma resources types
```

## What Happens During Install

When you install a provider:

1. The platform pulls the provider image for the selected version
2. A deployment is created in your workspace with the resource allocation matching your chosen tier
3. The provider connects and begins listening for resource events
4. All resource types from the provider become available in your workspace

<Note>
  If the provider was previously installed and has active resources, you will receive a conflict error. Uninstall the existing provider first, or upgrade to a new version instead.
