# Install Capable Diagrams

Capable Diagrams installs from the Atlassian Marketplace like any other Confluence app. Nothing to host, nothing to configure first.

## Two ways to get it

| **Option**                 | **Best when**                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Diagrams on its own**    | Diagrams are the only thing you need.                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Capable for Confluence** | The full suite. Diagrams is included, and one app is easier to administer than eight. See [Plans and pricing](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/get-started.html). |

**Nothing needs configuring before first use.** Space settings exist for when you want to standardise defaults across a team, not to get going. See [Administration](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/administration.html).

## Updates and uninstalling

Updates arrive automatically. Uninstalling stops the app working but does not delete your diagrams: the source stays as custom content in your site, so reinstalling brings them back.

## A few things that catch people out

* **You need to be a Confluence administrator** to install.
* Do not run the standalone app and the suite together. Pick one.
* Existing diagrams from another app do not migrate automatically. See [Migrate to Capable Diagrams](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/migrate-to-capable-diagrams.html).
