Installing additional packages is part of the initial configuration of a new instance of PhixFlow. For a summary of what else to configure, with links to the relevant pages, see the Administration topic.
Overview
For any packages supplied by PhixFlow, you only need to install them:
- when you install PhixFlow for the first time
- if the package has never been installed on an existing instance.
After an upgrade, do not re-install packages.
...
Installing Theme Palettes
PhixFlow provides additional theme palettes that you can use when designing an application. Each Theme palette contains a set of ready-made components that you can drag in to create forms and buttons with a consistent look-and-feel; see About Themes. For a demonstration that uses Theme 1, see /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050674952. For information about using Theme 2, see Using Theme 2 and /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050655401.
This video shows how to install a palette using Theme 2 as an example.

Overview
A package is a way to share resources between PhixFlow applications; see Understanding Template Packages. Template packages include a palette and default design configuration for your application.
| Warning |
|---|
Template packages only need to be installed once. When you install a package on an instance of PhixFlow, the files and data it contains overwrites any existing files with the same name. This means you could lose any changes or customisation you have made. |
For theme palettes, we recommend they are only installed once.
