What is the proper way to install NPSP in an existing Salesforce org?

The proper way to install the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) in an existing Salesforce org is to install it from the NPSP Installer page. This method streamlines the process by providing a guided installation experience specifically designed for nonprofits. The NPSP Installer serves as a centralized location where users can easily access and configure the various components of the NPSP, ensuring that all necessary settings and configurations are applied correctly.

By using the installer, organizations can take advantage of tailored features that the NPSP offers, such as donor management, fundraising tools, and volunteer management, all integrated within the Salesforce platform. This approach helps ensure compatibility and optimal functionality, as the installer packages all required components and dependencies needed for smooth operation within the existing org.

Other options may lead to fragmented installations that could miss essential configurations, resulting in an incomplete or improperly functioning NPSP setup. Therefore, utilizing the NPSP Installer page is the recommended and most effective way to achieve a successful installation within an existing Salesforce organization.
