For more information, see [Cortex Framework prerequisites for deployment](/cortex/docs/deployment-prerequisites).\n2. **Access Looker:** Access Looker and get familiar with the platform.\n3. **Explore available dashboards** : Explore the prebuilt dashboards and the available insights in the dashboard you would like to deploy. For more information, see [Available Looker Blocks](/cortex/docs/looker-block-overview).\n\nAfter completing the prerequisites, you are ready to install your\nLooker Block.\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nLooker Blocks use [LookML](/looker/docs/what-is-lookml)\n(Looker Modeling Language) to define the semantic model for\nthe Looker dashboards. To install the LookML Model that\ncorresponds to your Cortex data source, use one of the following options:\n\n- **Option A**: Install through Looker Marketplace from a Git URL.\n- **Option B**: Install by forking the repository.\n\nThe following sections describe the steps for each option.\n\n### Option A: Install through Looker Marketplace from a Git URL\n\nThe [Looker Marketplace](/looker/docs/marketplace) is a central\nlocation within Looker for finding, deploying, and managing\nLooker Blocks, applications, visualizations, and plug-ins. To\ninstall through Looker Marketplace from a Git URL, follow these steps:\n\n1. Go to your Looker instance.\n2. Click the **Marketplace** button on the Looker menu bar storefront.\n3. From the Marketplace menu, select the **Manage** option.\n4. On the **Manage** page, select the three-dot **Options** menu more_vert.\n5. Select **Install via Git URL** button.\n6. Enter the URL and commit SHA of the chosen repository:\n - [SAP for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-sap)\n - [Salesforce Sales Cloud (SFDC) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-salesforce)\n - [Oracle EBS for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-oracle-ebs)\n - [Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-sfmc)\n - [Meta for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-meta)\n - [YouTube (with DV360) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-youtube)\n - [Cross Media \\& Product Connected Insights for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-cross-media)\n7. Click **Install**.\n8. Agree and Continue at the terms and conditions dialog.\n9. Enter the [required parameters](#required_parameters) that corresponds to your data:\n - Connection Name\n - Project ID\n - Reporting Dataset\n10. Click **Install**.\n\nFor more information, see the Looker documentation for\n[Installing a Tool from a Git URL.](/looker/docs/marketplace#installing_a_tool_from_a_git_url)\n\n### Option B: Install by forking the repository\n\nTo install Looker blocks by forking the repository, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Fork the GitHub repository**:\n\n 1. Navigate to the GitHub repository for the chosen Looker Block:\n - [SAP for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-sap)\n - [Salesforce Sales Cloud (SFDC) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-salesforce)\n - [Oracle EBS for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-oracle-ebs)\n - [Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-sfmc)\n - [Meta for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-meta)\n - [YouTube (with DV360) for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-youtube)\n - [Cross Media \\& Product Connected Insights for Cortex](https://github.com/looker-open-source/block-cortex-cross-media)\n 2. Click **Fork** in the top-right corner of the repository.\n 3. Create a fork with your username. This creates a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.\n2. **Create a blank LookML project**:\n\n | **Note:** For Looker versions prior to 24.20, see [Creating a Blank Project](/looker/docs/create-projects#creating_a_blank_project) from the [New Project Page](/looker/docs/create-projects)-\n 1. [Verify that you are in Development Mode](/looker/docs/dev-mode-prod-mode#switching_in_and_out_of_development_mode).\n 2. Select **Projects** from the **Develop** menu.\n 3. From the top left of the **LookML Projects** page, select\n **Configure New Model** to open the **Configure a Model** page.\n\n 4. On the **Configure a Model** page, specify the options for your model:\n\n 1. **Model** : Name your model with the same name of\n the `model.lkml` file in the repository. For example, name the\n model `cortex-\u003cdatasource\u003e`.\n\n | **Note:** Looker enforces unique model names. If a model with the intended name already exists, an error message will be displayed. Ensure model name uniqueness to avoid installation failures.\n 2. **Project**: Name your project. Either name it the same as the\n model or specify a different name.\n\n 3. **Allowed Connections:** Specify which database connections can\n be used by the model, or specify that the model is allowed to use\n any current or future connections.\n\n 5. Click **Save** to save the project as a **Pending Project**.\n\n 6. From the **LookML Projects** page, locate the new project under the\n **Pending Projects** section.\n\n 7. Click **Add LookML** to open the **New Project** page.\n\n 8. On the New Project page, specify the options for your project:\n\n 1. **Project Name**: Already populated with value specified in prior step.\n 2. **Starting Point** : Select **Blank Project**.\n 9. Select **Create Project** . Looker creates the project\n and opens it in the [Looker IDE](/looker/docs/looker-ide).\n\n For more information, see the original Looker documentation\n for [Generating a LookML model](/looker/docs/generating-a-model).\n3. **Connect the new LookML project to the forked repository** : Follow the\n steps in the Looker documentation,\n [Setting up and testing a Git connection](/looker/docs/setting-up-git-connection).\n\n4. **Update the values of constants in the `manifest.lkml` file**:\n\n 1. Open the `manifest.lkml` file in your forked repository in Looker.\n 2. Locate the constants section and update the values as described in the [Required parameters](#required_parameters) section.\n5. **Commit and deploy changes to production** . With the\n Looker project based on your forked repository, you can customize\n the LookML to fit your unique business needs. Follow the steps in\n [Getting your changes to production](/looker/docs/version-control-and-deploying-changes#getting_your_changes_to_production).\n\n### Required parameters\n\nThese required values are configured during the Marketplace Installation process\nor if this Block was installed from a forked Git repository, you need to\nupdate the values for these constants in the `manifest.lkml` file for the project.\n\n### Additional block-specific requirements\n\nSome blocks have specific requirements for its deployment. For more information,\nsee the block-specific deployment:\n\nExtra Resources\n---------------\n\nFor more information about LookML, see the following documentation and training:\n\n- [Looker Best Practices](/looker/docs/best-practices/home)\n- [Looker Google Cloud Training](https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/catalog?keywords=looker&locale=&skill-badge%5B%5D=any&format%5B%5D=any&language%5B%5D=any)"]]
