Install Crosswork Applications
This section explains how to install a Crosswork application from the Cisco Crosswork UI.
Every crosswork application is bundled in a particular format unique to Crosswork known as CAPP (Crosswork APPlication). The application CAPP files (*.tar.gz) are downloaded from cisco.com to a machine reachable from the Cisco Crosswork server, and added to the Crosswork UI where it can be installed. You need to have the credentials that will allow you to copy the CAPP files from that machine.
The Crosswork Network Controller applications are bundled as Essentials and Advantage packages in cisco.com.
