Dowloading TREX files
Users will access their Apps for Tableau extensions through Tableau dashboards using a .trex file. The ExtensionsManager allows for easy installation of these files.
There are two ways to download a .trex
file:
1. From the TREX Overview Page (Public Access)
The TREX Overview Page provides a simple way for any user to download .trex
files directly.
Navigate to your ExtensionsManager’s configured base URL (e.g.
yourdomain.com
).Scroll through the list of available extensions.
Click Download TREX next to the desired product.
Choose between Viz Extension or Dashboard extenion TREX file.

This option is ideal for users or teams who only need the
.trex
file to integrate a product into their Tableau dashboards, but don't need acces to the whole ExtensionsManager
2. From the Admin Panel (Authenticated Access)

.trex
file.Choose between Viz Extension or Dashboard extenion TREX file.

The admin download option is only available to authenticated users and allows management of internal or licensed versions of the extensions.
