As an administrator log in to the Salesforce account. To install conga composer you must have Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited/Performance and Developer edition.

Let’s install Conga Composer. Click AppExchange in the Force.com App Menu. In AppExchange search Conga Composer.

I don’t have a login: You can’t download the app without Salesforce account. If you want to download the app on developer account then create a new salesforce account.

When you click “Log in to the Appexchange” now it will ask you in which instance you want to install the Conga Composer. You have two options: Install in production or Install in sandbox. When you are using conga composer for the first time then you need to install in sandbox. But if you have tested conga composer in sandbox and now you want to install conga composer in production you can click “Install in production”.

Since I am using Developer Edition for this integration so I will select “Install in Production”.

On this page it will display information regarding the installation of conga composer on salesforce. Select the checkbox “I have read and agree to the terms and condition” and then “Confirm and Install” (Blue Button).
