# Installation & Setup

Setting up In8Sync DirectConnect involves two stages: installing IDC itself into NetSuite, then connecting your first integration.

## Stage 1 — Install the SuiteApp

A NetSuite administrator installs IDC as a SuiteApp, then confirms that script deployments are active before the team starts using the dashboard.

* [Install the SuiteApp](/idc/idc-core/overview-1/install-suiteapp.md) — the one-time NetSuite installation.
* [Initial Setup](/idc/idc-core/overview-1/initial-setup.md) — post-installation configuration before your team starts using IDC.

## Stage 2 — Install your first integration

Once IDC is installed, an integration administrator installs apps from the Marketplace to connect IDC to your external systems.

* [Apps & Marketplace](/idc/idc-core/apps.md) — install and configure your first app end to end.

**Who does what?** Installing the SuiteApp (Stage 1) requires NetSuite Administrator access. Installing apps from the Marketplace (Stage 2) requires integration admin access in the IDC dashboard.
