This article discusses how to install Snapshot and get started.
AppExchange Package Installation
To install the AppExchange package, please go through a Get It Now process from AppExchange. To install an AppExchange package, you will require the Download AppExchange Packages privilege.
Snapshot is a salesforce release manager focused application. The intended audience is expected to be assigned the System Administrator profile. With this in mind, as part of the installation, in the Security Options screen, please choose "Install for Admins Only" or "Install for Selected Profiles" and choose appropriate administrator focused profiles.
Note
As part of the installation, you will be requested for your salesforce Production Org credentials even if you are installing in a Sandbox. This is a requirement by AppExchange and may not be circumvented.
Client Installation
Snapshot is a client application. To use the client, please download the application from here: http://www.metazoa.net/install/player.html. There are options for Windows or Mac 32 or 64 bit applications. Simply download the executable, double click and follow the instructions on screen to install.
Note
If you have a 64 bit Operating System, please choose the 64 bit application - all modern Macs are 64 bit operating systems. If you do not know, please select 32 bit but be advised that 64 bit applications can handle larger workloads.
