## Setup tasks {#configuring-lux-lab__configuring-lux-lab-setup-tasks}

Setup has two parts. First, you install Lux Lab from the ServiceNow® Developer Store. Then you connect it to your instance, so that you can access relevant files and deploy your changes. For the procedures, see [Install Lux Lab](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/sneID1KBxa7rCF38cSHPfw "Install Lux Lab on macOS or Windows from the ServiceNow Developer Store. On first launch, a guided setup takes you through environment, agent, and instance sign-in steps.") and [Connect Lux Lab to an instance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/wXHhK81vuBuupwn7g7ST1Q "Connect Lux Lab to your ServiceNow instance so that you can access instance files, deploy changes, and preview your work. Instance sign-in is required before you can reach the app.").

## App settings {#configuring-lux-lab__configuring-lux-lab-app-settings}

Beyond installation and the instance connection, most other configuration is in the App Settings panel. For the panel's sections and options, see [App Settings panel](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LYUO4P4K3E_h9tAvWG8Dpg "The App Settings panel contains configuration for your profile, appearance, editor behavior, instance connection, integrations, and updates.").
