# How to configure App Catalog for macOS devices?

**App catalogs** allow you to easily install VPP, enterprise, Hexnode Store, and local store apps on your macOS devices. It is a custom app store where you can set up multiple app catalogs for different sets of targeted users to effectively provision apps.

 Notes:- Store apps added to the catalog will redirect the user to the App Store when clicked. Users can install these apps from the App Store.
- At times, the installation might take a few minutes to complete depending on the network connectivity.

 

How to create a new app catalog for macOS devices? 
---------------------------------------------------

To create a new catalog, navigate to **Apps** tab in your Hexnode UEM portal.

- Select **App catalogs**.
- Click on **+New**.
- Add a name and suitable description for the catalog.
- Choose **Apps > +Add Apps** to add apps to the catalog.
- Select **App Groups > +Add App Groups** to add app groups to the catalog.
- Once completed click on **Save Catalog**.

After creating an app catalog, assign them to users for app installation.

Now let’s assign this app catalog to individual users to make app installation easy.

- Login to your Hexnode portal.
- Open the **Policies** tab.
- Create a **New Policy** or select from any existing Policy templates.
- From **macOS > App Management > App Catalog** and click on **Configure**.
- Choose **+Add Catalogs** and add the catalog.
- Click **Done**.
- Select **Policy Targets** and associate this policy with **Devices/Device Groups/Users/User Groups/Domains**.
- Click **Save**.

As the policy is associated with the device, the Hexnode UEM app lists the customized store of apps together as *App Catalog*. Further, the user can install the necessary apps from the app catalog by clicking on the **+GET** button corresponding to an app. The app installation proceeds silently on the device.
