## Activation information {#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-activation}

ServiceNow IDE is active by default and available for upgrade in the ServiceNow Store. Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home) to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/store-release-notes/page/release-notes/store/sn-store-release-notes.html).{#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-activation-1}

## Additional requirements {#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-additional-reqs}

ServiceNow IDE uses the public npm registry (https://registry.npmjs.org) as its default package source. If your network blocks access to this registry, you must have access to an alternate
registry to download packages and build applications in the ServiceNow IDE. If access to the public npm registry is blocked on your system, you must configure a private npm registry in your Package Manager user settings in the ServiceNow IDE. For more information, see [Install an npm package from a private registry with the ServiceNow IDE](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=use-library-private-npm-registry&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).{#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-additional-reqs-1}

## Localization information {#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-localization}

The ServiceNow IDE is localized in all supported left-to-right languages and reflects the language preference selected by users for the instance. For information about how to activate a language on an instance, see [Activate a language](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateALanguage&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).{#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-localization-1}

## Related ServiceNow applications and features {#servicenow-ide-rn__servicenow-ide-rn-related-apps}

[ServiceNow SDK](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-landing&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US)
:   The ServiceNow SDK is used in the background of the ServiceNow IDE as the application packaging service that builds applications and provides the ServiceNow Fluent APIs for developing applications in source code. Scoped applications created or converted with the ServiceNow IDE or ServiceNow SDK can be developed with either application.

[Build Agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=build-agent&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Use Build Agent, an autonomous AI agent, to help you create and edit applications from a chat panel in the ServiceNow IDE.
