  1. Unzip the downloaded app.
  2. Add a proxy to your app. Refer to Use proxy for details.
  3. Add and register the app. Refer to Add apps and Register your app.
  4. Copy and paste the app ID to the appId property in the app config file. Save the file.

     Caution:

     When you access the app, you might be asked to sign in many times. This is because JavaScript files hosted by your portal need to be authenticated. As a result, you should host ArcGIS API for JavaScript outside the portal and change the apiUrl variable to it. This is specific to web-tier authentication.
