# Configure the Bootloader module for a Sitecore deployment

The Bootloader module is a tiny module that facilitates the installation of supported Sitecore modules. You must always add the Bootloader module to the modules parameter of your Sitecore App Service deployment when installing other modules.

To configure the Bootloader module:

1. Locate the WebDeploy package (WDP), which is the `Sitecore.Cloud.Integration.Bootload.wdp.zip` of the *Bootloader* module in *Sitecore Azure Toolkit Resources {Sitecore version} rev. {Platform revision}.zip\\resources\\Addons* folder of your Sitecore Azure Toolkit installation.
2. Upload the WDP to the storage account and note the URL of the package because you will need to add it to the snippet in step 4.
3. On [Github](https://github.com/Sitecore/Sitecore-Azure-Quickstart-Templates), in the **addons** folder of your Sitecore version and environment configuration, locate the `bootloader.json` template.
4. Add the following snippet to the modules parameter of your `azuredeploy.parameters.json` file:

    ```csharp
    {
      "modules": {
        "value": {
          "items": [
            {
              "name": "bootloader",
              "templateLink": "https://yourstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/modules/bootloader/azuredeploy.json",
              "parameters": {
                "msDeployPackageUrl": {
                  "value": "https://yourstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/modules/bootloader/Bootloader.scwdp.zip"
                }
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    ```

5. Populate the parameters for the Bootloader module:
    - For `templateLink`, go to [Github](https://github.com/Sitecore/Sitecore-Azure-Quickstart-Templates) and use the URL of the **bootloader.json** template for your particular topology. You can also upload the template to your storage account.
    - For `msDeployPackageUrl`, use the URL of the WDP package for the Bootloader module.
