Configure Autonomous Engineer by installing it from the ServiceNow Store and enabling the features required for planning and parallel execution on your instance.
Autonomous Engineer is a separate application available in the ServiceNow Store. Installing Autonomous Engineer also installs Build Agent as a dependency. Configuring Autonomous Engineer involves installing the application, confirming the required roles and permissions, and optionally installing agent packs to extend Autonomous Engineer with product-specific domain knowledge.

## Prerequisites {#configure-autonomous-engineer__cf-configuring-parent-prerequisites}

Before configuring Autonomous Engineer, verify the following:

* Autonomous Engineer is installed on your instance. For installation instructions, see [Install Autonomous Engineer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/5YQYJXsGiqXTSVphH44gcA "Install Autonomous Engineer from the ServiceNow Store to make it available on your instance.").
* You have the admin role.

## Installation {#configure-autonomous-engineer__cf-configuring-parent-install}

For installation steps, see [Install Autonomous Engineer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/5YQYJXsGiqXTSVphH44gcA "Install Autonomous Engineer from the ServiceNow Store to make it available on your instance.").

## Agent packs {#configure-autonomous-engineer__cf-configuring-parent-agent-packs}

Autonomous Engineer uses agent packs with product-specific domain knowledge to run implementations. For more information, see [Agent packs for Autonomous Engineer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/VUhZDlOs4txto~fXXNDtHg "Agent packs bundle the domain knowledge, tools, and skills that Autonomous Engineer uses to implement ServiceNow products.").

  Install Autonomous Engineer from the ServiceNow Store to make it available on your instance.
* **[Configuring Autonomous Engineer settings in Build Agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bnoNkhnzMFeava8n_slhUg)**   
  Autonomous Engineer and Build Agent share the same configuration settings. Settings you configure for Build Agent also apply when Autonomous Engineer runs.
