# Configuring an App

As soon as you install an app, you are redirected to the **App Configuration** screen. Without providing configuration details, you might not be able to use it.

This page uses the Algolia app as an example.

## Prerequisites

*   An app installed in your stack

## What You Will Learn

*   How to provide configuration details for an installed app.
    
*   How to save an app's configuration.
    
*   How to uninstall an app from the configuration screen.
    

## Configure the app

Here, you need to provide the configuration details of your Algolia account such as the **Application ID**, **Index Name**, and the **API Key** to let your app fetch details to and from Algolia.

These details are configured when you set up your respective app configurations.

Once done, you can choose one of the following actions:

*   Simply **Save** the configuration details
*   Click **Open Stack** to directly navigate to the stack.
*   Click the “More Options” icon (three ellipses) and select **Uninstall the App** to uninstall your app from the stack.
