# Deploy Application Approval Metadata

Download the Application Approval SFDX metadata, and deploy them to your Salesforce org.

In order to deploy the metadata, you must download Visual Code Studio (VS Code), a free, open-source code editor.

1. Download and install Visual Studio Code. See [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
2. Install Salesforce Extension Pack in Visual Studio Code:
    1. Launch Visual Studio Code.
    2. Click the **Extensions** icon.
    3. Search for Salesforce Extension Pack and click **Install**.
3. Create a project in Visual Studio Code:
    1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) to make the command palette appear.
    2. Type and select **SFDX: Create Project with Manifest**.
    3. Select **Standard**.
    4. Enter any project name, press enter.
    5. Select a location on your computer for the project files to go.
    6. Click **Create Project**.
4. Authenticate your target org:
    1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS).
        
        The command palette opens.
    2. Enter SFDX: Authorize an Org, and then select **SFDX: Authorize an Org**.
    3. To accept the default login URL, press **Enter**.
    4. Enter an alias.
        
        For example, enter Astro.
        
        A new Salesforce login window opens in a browser.
    5. Log in to your target org.
    6. When you are asked to grant access to the connected app, click **Allow**, and then close the browser window.
        
        The command-line terminal window shows a message when the authentication is successful.
5. Download and extract the metadata file.
    1. Download this datapack to your local desktop: [EUC\_ProgramApplnApproval\_Sfdx\_Datapacks.zip](https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/rel1/doc/en-us/static/misc/EUC_ProgramApplnApproval_Sfdx_Datapacks.zip).
    2. Create a ProgramApplnApproval\_SFDX folder in your local desktop.
    3. Extract EUC\_ProgramApplnApproval\_Sfdx\_Datapacks.zip to the ProgramApplnApproval\_SFDX folder
6. In the folder, create the file **sfdx-project.json** which contains the following code:
    
    ```
    {
        "packageDirectories": [
            {
                "path": "salesforce_sfdx",
                "default": true
            }
        ],
        "namespace": "",
        "sfdcLoginUrl": "https://login.salesforce.com",
        "sourceApiVersion": "59.0"
    }
    ```
7. Move the **package.xml** file from salesforce\_sfdx/main/default to the ProgramApplnApproval\_SFDX folder.
