# Installing a kit

## Who installs

Only the owner of the business installs a kit. The right is held at the level of the
organisation, so a role given for one business does not carry it. Seeing the list of
kits needs only that the person sees the business. The Settings screen says "Only
the owner of the business installs a kit."

## In Settings

**Settings → Industry kits**, the kit under **Can be installed**, **Install**. The
window **Install the "Client booking" kit?** lists what the kit brings: the contact
categories, what services need, the sections and the items in settings, and says it
is installed for the whole business, in all branches at once; at the bottom is the
line "Ready roles: Master. They are templates: you can change the name and rights. The kit gives them to no one; you can add them on "Roles and access"". After
it the kit moves to **Installed**, and the Calendar and catalog screens appear.
Whoever creates roles sees the button **Add role "Master"** in the message about the
installation if the organization has no such role yet; the same link stands in the row of the installed kit under **Installed** while the role is missing. The message
about the installation reads "The "Client booking" kit is installed".

The assistant installs a kit when the owner asks, and an agent connected over MCP
uses `talemo_install_kit` with the key `beauty_salon`; the tool takes `dry_run`,
which shows the kit as it will stand and installs nothing.

## No way back

A kit is installed once and cannot be removed. The settings of roles word the right
as "Install an industry kit — it can't be removed". Installing a kit that is already installed gives the same
answer and changes nothing, so a repeat after a lost connection is safe.

## What the first installation does

On the first installation only, the kit writes into the business the contact
categories, the booking rules of the industry and the starting conversation of the
online admin (see [What the kit installs](what-a-kit-installs.md)). If the business has
quick questions turned on in Instagram or Messenger, the first step of the installed
script reaches clients through them, so while those quick questions are on, the assistant
asks the person before installing.

## Opening a business with a kit

When a business is opened (**Your business**), the person picks **What you do**, the
industry, and writes **In your own words** if it is Other. **Where we start** offers
the kit first, described as "schedule, masters or specialists, services". The kit is
installed in the same step as the business: if it does not install, the business is
not opened either. The person opening the business needs the right to install kits.
A business can also be opened without a kit and get it later in Settings; its Home
then points to **Open kits**.

The industry stays on the business. The kit takes the words and the starting values of
the industry that stands on the business at the time of installation.

## Tools and refusals

- `talemo_install_kit` takes `kit` (the key, `beauty_salon`) and `dry_run`. Only the owner installs a kit: others are refused with status 403, code `role.forbidden`. A kit cannot be removed, so ask the person before installing. Installing an installed kit returns it as it is, so a repeat after a lost connection is safe.
- A new install also lays down what the industry of the business starts with: the booking step and the cleanup of its roles, a conversation script of four steps with its four conversation fields and its hand-over rules, all in the language of the business. The exception is the industry Other: it has no starting steps or fields. A business that already has a script or fields keeps them (see [What the kit installs](what-a-kit-installs.md)).
- While the quick questions of a channel are on, the first step of the script is what every client sees in the Instagram or Messenger of the salon. Show the `dry_run` first and ask the person.
- `talemo_list_kits` before and after tells what is installed and what can be.
- The installation does not make the ready-made role of the kit. Its rights and name are in `ready` of the `talemo_list_roles` answer while the kit stands; `talemo_create_role` makes the role at the person's request (see [Team and roles](../account/team-and-roles.md)).
