# TeamCity integration: install the Snyk plugin

Follow these steps to install or upgrade the Snyk Security plugin. When the installation is complete, you can add a Snyk step to your Projects.

Before you begin, sign up for a Snyk account.

1. Log in to your TeamCity instance to install the Snyk Security plugin.
2. Configure the **Plugins list** to **Periodically check for plugin updates**, to ensure regular automatic upgrades in the background.
3. Navigate to the [JetBrains Plugins Repository](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12227-snyk-security), search for Snyk, and, from the **Get** dropdown list, select the plugin for your TeamCity installation.
4. In response to the prompt, click **Install**.
5. When the installation ends, and the **Administration Plugins List** loads with a notification that the plugin has been uploaded, ensure the plugin is enabled.

To configure the integration, see [TeamCity configuration parameters](/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ci-cd-integrations/teamcity-jetbrains-integration-using-the-snyk-security-plugin/teamcity-configuration-parameters.md). For information on how to configure your build with a Snyk step, see [Team City integration: use Snyk in your build](/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ci-cd-integrations/teamcity-jetbrains-integration-using-the-snyk-security-plugin/teamcity-integration-use-snyk-in-your-build.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ci-cd-integrations/teamcity-jetbrains-integration-using-the-snyk-security-plugin/teamcity-integration-install-the-snyk-plugin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
