# Install PWA

After your PWA is published, users can install it on supported devices to experience it like a native app. PWAs work across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS platforms.

#### Step 1: Go to the “Download” section in your app dashboard

* Navigate to the Download section from the side menu of your AppMySite custom app. 
* On the Progressive Web App page, click the Desktop app button to open the web app in a browser
* Alternatively, click the Share button to copy the app link and open it manually in a supported browser

#### Step 2: Open the web app link in a browser

* Use Chrome or Safari to open the PWA link
* On desktop, use a supported browser like Chrome, Edge, or Safari
* Wait for the app to load fully before proceeding

#### Step 3: Install on Android

* In Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
* Select Add to Home screen or Install app
* Confirm the prompt to complete the installation

* Look for the Install icon (a download or plus symbol) in the browser’s address bar
* Click the icon, then click **Install** when prompted
* The PWA will be installed and open in a separate window like a native desktop app
