# Installing Swarmia outside of GitHub Marketplace

Installing the Swarmia GitHub app without GitHub Marketplace

For some organization types, GitHub does not support installing apps from the GitHub Marketplace. Sometimes there have also been bugs on GitHub's Marketplace preventing the installation of the Swarmia app.

If you are facing these issues, you can alternatively install Swarmia directly from this link: <https://github.com/apps/swarmia/installations/new>. There is no difference in functionality when installing via the marketplace or via this link.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to choose your organization as the target; Swarmia cannot be installed on personal GitHub accounts.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.swarmia.com/settings/integrations/code-hosting-platforms/github/troubleshooting/github-app-without-marketplace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
