Installing from the Catalog
When you click Install, Lawn shows an install sheet. Most apps work with zero configuration — just click Install and you're done.
If an app needs setup values, Lawn opens Edit Configuration after installation. Fill in the settings, save, then start the app.
Custom catalogs
Add a public Git repository or local folder to make its apps available alongside the built-in apps. See Catalog settings for adding, updating, and removing catalogs.
