01: Create Power Platform environments

1. From the Power Platform admin center, select Manage from the left side menu.

2. From the top action menu, select New and create a new environment.

3. Name the environment Zava Retail Store - Dev.

4. Select Developer from the Type dropdown, noting that in a real deployment you would choose Production instead.

5. Select Next then select Save.

6. You’ll repeat the same steps and create two new environments, and name them Zava Retail Store - UAT and Zava Retail Store - PRD:

   1. Select New, then name the new environment: Zava Retail Store - UAT.

   2. For Type, select Developer.

   3. Select Next and then Save.

   4. Select New again, then name the new environment: Zava Retail Store - PRD.

   5. For Type, select Developer.

   6. Select Next and then Save.

In the real environment you would need the Environment ID. To find it, you’d open each new environment and find their IDs in the Overview section.

02: Install Power Platform pipelines

1. In the browser tab bar, navigate to the second tab - Power Apps to confirm that the Deployment Pipeline has not been installed.

2. On the upper right side of the screen, ensure that Zava Retail Store - Dev is selected as your current environment.

3. Select Apps from the left side menu and verify that no apps are currently present in the Dev environment. We will now proceed with the installation.

4. In the browser tab bar, navigate to the third tab - Power Platform admin center to configure the Deployment Pipeline.

5. In the upper right search bar, type pipeline, and press Enter.

   The apps search bar is on the right, under the Settings icon.

6. When Power Platform Pipelines appears, select the ellipsis (…), then choose Install to add it to your dev environment.

7. In the Install Power Platform Pipeline blade window that appears, select the Select an environment dropdown arrow, then choose the Zava Retail Store - Dev environment.

8. Select the checkbox labeled I agree to the terms of service.

9. Select Install to proceed, and wait until the app’s Status changes to Installed. For this simulation, you’ll need to select Refresh to manually force the status update.

10. In the browser tab bar, navigate back to the **Power Apps

    Apps** tab and refresh the page, then notice that a new app named Deployment Pipeline Configuration is now available.
