# Install multiple applications

The **Install multiple applications** step installs a list of applications in the specified order. You can configure this list directly in the step:

### Options

| Option                          | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| List of applications to install | Application content items to install, in order.                                                                                                               |
| List variable name (optional)   | Name of a task sequence list variable containing more applications to install, as `contentItemId:version` values. Leave blank to install only the fixed list. |
| Continue on app install error   | Keeps installing the remaining applications if one fails. Default: `false`.                                                                                   |

Multiple applications can also be installed from a task sequence list variable. Enter the name of the list variable in **List variable name**, for example `Applications`. If you specify both a fixed list and a list variable, the applications in the fixed list are installed first.

You can also populate this list using a **Run PowerShell script** step or a web service call. The following PowerShell example specifies the content item IDs and versions for four applications to install:

```powershell
# Install my list of apps
$tsenvlist:Applications = @("d7775b33-9cfe-4fcd-b3a2-dc129cfc769e:1", 
  "c2032a9a-d15a-4275-97a2-e317a84f3437:1",
  "2ae9d965-e89f-4e10-89e1-e55caeda997b:1", 
  "ebe17300-286a-4bf2-a172-aa8a4d64b186:1")
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/reference/step-definitions/install-multiple-applications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
