# Marketplace

The [Universal Dashboard Marketplace](https://marketplace.universaldashboard.io/) is a PowerShell Gallery module aggregator. It synchronizes with the PowerShell Gallery on an hourly basis to find modules that can be used with Universal Dashboard.

## Installing Components from the Gallery

### Automatic Install from the Marketplace

Within PowerShell Universal, you can access the Universal Dashboard Marketplace by navigating to the Dashboards page and clicking the Marketplace button in the top right.

Once installed, the component will be listed on the Dashboard Components page. You can access this by clicking Dashboards and then the Components button in the top right.

To add the component to a dashboard, navigate to the Dashboard Details and then click the Add Component button.

### Manual Install from the PowerShell Gallery

You can install any of the components from the Marketplace by using the `Install-Module` or `Save-Module` cmdlets provided by `PowerShellGet`. Since the components are just listed on the PowerShell Gallery, you'll be able to use their module name during install.

```
Install-Module UniversalDashboard.Helmet
```

Depending on how the components were installed, you may need to import the module in your dashboard file.

```
import-Module UniversalDashboard.Helmet
```
